100
Inconsistent speech sound errors in repeated words, phrases or sentences.
What is Childhood Apraxia of Speech?
100
Targets consist of two words that differ in pronunciation by only one sound or feature that ultimately changes the meaning of the word.
What is a minimal pairs approach?
100
muscle tone-altering intervention geared toward stretching the reflex actions of the muscle spindle which is predominately the masseter musculature.
What is a non-speech oral motor approach?
100
Determining after assessment the sounds that precede or follow the target that facilitate correct production or improvement in the production of the phoneme that is targeted for treatment.
What is use of context?
100
The clinician's use of his/her hand to move the articulators of the client to achieve correct phoneme production.
What is a tactile-cue?
200
Errors in multiple sounds with groups (i.e., fricatives) which may results in poor speech intelligibility.
What is a phonological disorder?
200
Teaching the place, manner and voice features of the target speech sound in constrast to the error production.
What is a distinctive features approach?
200
This approach is beneficial to children who exhibit sound substitutions preferences or error patterns that result in phoneme collapses of several adult targets to a single error production.
What is the multiple oppositions approach?
200
Use of any strategy to correct placement of the articulators, modify the airstream or change voicing aspects of the phoneme that is produced incorrectly.
What is phonetic placement?
200
Use a tactile cue on the face of the clinician or use a picture to illustrate the positioning of the articulators for a client to use as a cue.
What is a visual cue?
300
Errors are distortions of sounds due to muscle weakness resulting from a neurological injury or disease.
What is dysarthria?
300
Discrimination of the target from the error must precede production of the target sound.
What is a stimulus approach?
300
This treatment for Childhood Apraxia of Speech uses specific words taught intensively for correct movement of the articulators from one phoneme to another in order to build movement sequences.
What is Core Vocabulary?
300
Using the clinician's hands to move the client's articulatory mechanism to direct the movements necessary for each speech sound.
What is a moto-kinesthetic cue?
300
A model of the target by the clinician which elicits the target phoneme by verbal imitation of the client.
What is an auditory cue?
400
Errors may consist of alterations in syllable shapes as well as consonant errors.
What is a phonological disorder?
400
Remediation or compensation of the underlying deficit in the oral mechanism is achieved through non-speech or oral-motor techniques.
What is a sensory-motor approach?
400
Using techniques from more than one approach to design a specific program of intervention for unique clients with SSD.
What is the eclectic approach?
400
The clinician stimulates the client to produce a series of sounds or sound segments that gradually become more and more like the target response until the target sound is produced correctly.
What is sound approximation?
400
Cues are given 100% of the time prior to the opportunity for the client to respond in a therapy session.
What is consistent cuing?
500
Typically errors in few sounds with place of articulation the primary error type.
What is an articulation disorder?
500
a language-based approach for clients who use processes to simplify the patterns of adult speech.
What is a phonologic approach?
500
uses a blend of traditional articulation and linguistic approaches to produce words in a segmented form and then blended into longer and longer sequences of sounds to form words.
What is the discrete trials approach?
500
Using a literary symbol (i.e., fighting cat sound for /f/) to represent the concept of a phoneme.
What are metaphors?
500
Allows the client to gain control over articulatory sequencing skills or phoneme production in a supportive yet systematic manner while the clinician withdraws the facilitating cues.
What is fading of cues?
