Speech Sound Disorders (Comps) pt 1

Emphasizes that children are born with a set of natural phonological processes that they need to suppress as they age. These phonological processes are suppressed as the child develops

• Natural phonology theory

• Prosodic theory

• Generative phonology theory

• Behavioral theory

An expansion of the distinctive feature theory and includes concepts such as underlying representations, surface forms, and phonological rules, but does not include suppression of phonological representation

• Prosodic theory

• Generative phonology theory

• Behavioral theory

• Natural phonology theory

Emphasizes the perception of whole words as early word productions

• Prosodic theory

• Generative phonology theory

• Behavioral theory

• Natural phonology theory

Phonological development is contingent upon reinforcement

• Prosodic theory

• Generative phonology theory

• Natural phonology theory

• Behavioral theory

Targets a single errored phoneme per tx session, and once all errored phonemes have been targeted, a full “cycle” has been completed. A new cycle is then started, which builds off the work completed in the previous cycle.

• Cycles approach

• Whole-language tx approach

• Maximal opposition approach

• Integral stimulation approach

Utilizes multiple input modes to help a child learn the motor pattern for speech sound production; utilized to establish a sound that is not present in a child’s repertoire; focuses on articulation

• Integral stimulation approach

• Cycles approach

• Maximal opposition approach

• Whole-language tx approach

Utilizes four “key words” as a starting point, and 10 training words are then paired with the key words to aid in production

• Paired-stimuli approach

• Sensory-motor approach

• Integral stimulation

• Multiple phonemes approach

Uses bisyllable productions of nonerrored phonemes that are used as facilitating contexts to produce a target sound

• Sensory-motor approach

• Integral stimulation

• Multiple phonemes approach

• Paired-stimuli approach

Utilized for children with multiple phoneme errors

• Integral stimulation

• Multiple phonemes approach

• Sensory-motor approach

• Paired-stimuli approach

Which phoneme is an earlier developing speech sound?

• /m/

• /l/

• /r/

• /s/
