Speech Therapy -> Articulation

Articulation

Articulation, or sound production, exercises involve having the therapist model correct sounds and syllables in words and sentences for a child, often during play activities. Most professionals characterize a child with an articulation disorder as someone who has difficulty producing a few phonemes and the child’s errors may be linked to oral motor weakness and/or normal development.

Skilled interventions

  • Integral Stimulation Approach: Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC)

    Integral stimulation and DTTC; targets can be practiced at the syllable, word, phrase, or sentence level. The patient may be moved up and down the treatment hierarchy depending on the amount of support needed and the level of success achieved.

    Method: Multimodal cueing techniques are used in a hierarchical fashion and include auditory, visual, and tactile cues into the practice of speech production. These cues can be used together to provided maximal cueing and can be reduced when less support is needed. Studies have shown integral stimulation therapy is an effective treatment for remediating speech errors in patients with CAS, while noting that more and larger studies are needed to confirm the benefits of the treatment for a wider group of children (Rosenbeck, et al., 1973; Stand & Debertine, 2000; Stand, et al., 2006).

  • Multiple Phoneme Approach (MPA)

    Multiple Phoneme Approach (MPA) is a behaviorally oriented treatment method in which the SLP address all articulation errors in each session. MPA is appropriate for patients making six or more errors and focuses on sound production in conversational speech. MPA does not emphasize auditory discrimination training and consists of 3 phases.

    Method:
    1) Establishment: goal is production of consonants in response to a printed letter and a holding procedure (designed to make and maintain correct production of sounds produced in isolation).
    2) 5 transfer steps: (a) syllables (b) words (c) phrases (d) reading/storytelling (e) conversation.
    3) Generalization: 90% whole-word accuracy in conversation in different speaking situations without treatment or external monitoring.

    (McCabe & Bradley, 1975)

  • Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets (PROMPT)

    PROMPT is a motor-based speech program that requires a specific training course and certification. The SLP uses a well-developed system of tactile cues to facilitate appropriate placement of the articulators (lips, tongue, etc.), oral pressure, and movement during single sound and whole word production (Hayden, 2005).

  • Semantically Potent Word Approach

    Semantically potent word Approach is a multiphonemic approach in which the SLP teaches articulation through words that have inherent meaning to a patient's life experiences. Semantically Potent word Approach is a multiphonemic approach where training words are chosen because of their semantic potency for a given patient. All misarticulated phonemes in each word are taught. By teaching the whole word accuracy, the patient is enabled to use the word as a functional communicative unit.

    Method: After a list of core training words are created you select 5 words to begin remediation and a pictorial representation is made for each then you proceed with the stages:
    1. Imitative Word Training
    2. Non-Imitative Word Training
    3. Sentence Imitation
    4. Re-tell Story

    (Hillard & Goepfert, 1979)

  • Sensory Motor Approach

    Sensory motor approach is a procedure used by the SLP that targets the syllable, not the isolated phoneme, and treats it as the basic unit of speech production holding the principles of coarticulation as important. Sensory-Motor approach holds that phonetic environment is very important in treatment and that training should begin at the syllable level.

    The McDonald's Deep Test of Articulation can help you find phonetic contexts where misarticulated sounds can be produced correctly. Example: /s/ distortion can produce /s/ correctly in watch-sun.

    Method:
    1) Heighten the patient's response to connected motor productions by beginning with non-error sounds in a variety of bi- and tri-syllabic contexts (in nonsense syllables) with differing stress patterns.
    2) Train correct production of misarticulated sounds; find a context in which the sound is produced correctly (watch-sun) and have the patient produce it in various syllable stress/phrase/sentence patterns
    3) Vary the phonetic contexts and have the patient practice correct production of the targets in different contexts. (watch-sit, watch-saw)
    4) Generalize by facilitating transfer to other phonetic context and then to natural communication activities

    (McDonald, 1964; Pena-Brooks & Hedge, 2007)

  • Traditional Articulation Approach

    Traditional articulation approach teaches sound production in isolation, syllables, words, and sentences; training includes three levels.

    Method:

    1) Perceptual/Ear Training: SLP demonstrate how target sound is produced, ask patient to identify the sound in isolation among sounds that are similar and sounds that are different, ask patient to identify the position of the sound in words, bombard the patient with productions of target sound, and have patient judge correct and incorrect productions.

    2) Production Training:
    (a) Sound Establishment; patient imitates your correct production (isolation, syllables, words) vary the phonetic contexts.
    (b) Stabilization; continue training sound in isolation to encourage more consistent productions, ask patient to respond to printed letters/pictures that represent the sound, produce sounds in nonsense syllables or clusters, train sounds in words moving from simple to more complex words, train phrases if necessary, move to sentences, train conversational level.

    3)Transfer (Carry-over): initiate carry-over activities when patient can produce the sounds correctly in unstructured conversational speech, give specific assignments to patient to complete at home, teach self-monitoring, and create varied speaking situations for the patient to target sounds.

    www.amyspeechlanguagetherapy.com
    Author: Amy Speech & Language Therapy, Inc. - Articulation is the process by which sounds, syllables, and words are formed when your tongue, jaw, teeth, lips, and palate alter the air stream coming from the vocal folds. When an individual cannot produce or distort an age-expected sound/s, it draws attention away from the speaker’s message. Articulation disorders are motoric errors that can occur among people of any age; however, they are most common in children whose articulators have not developed properly.

    Author: Carol Westby and Kimberly Murphy - Video available Language Difference vs Language Disorder: Assessing English Learners Carol Westby, Bilingual and Multicultural Services, Albuquerque, NM Kimberly Murphy (Host), Old Dominion UniversityFollow Document Type Presentation Publication Date 5-20-2020 Abstract To a large extent, determining whether an English learner has a language/learning disability is a process of elimination. There are no tests that can definitely tell us whether the student has a language/learning disability. Inappropriately identifying an EL student as having a language/learning disability can result in stigmatization or reduced access to academic content, but waiting too long to identify a student who truly has a language/learning disability can be the beginning or the extension of a cycle of communicative, academic, and/or social failure. Assessment of EL learners requires collaboration between classroom teachers and speech/language pathologists. This session will cover (1) factors that complicate the assessment of English learners; (2) multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and performance-based assessment; (3) process assessments, and (4) dynamic narrative assessment.

It was funded by the Virginia Department of Education and hosted by Dr. Kimberly Murphy, Old Dominion University.

  • Prosodic Patterns In Children’s Multisyllabic Word Productions 2
    pubs.asha.org
    Author: Margaret M. Kehoe - This paper reviews results from a series of studies that examined the influence of metrical and segmental effects on English-speaking children’s multisyllabic word productions. Three different approaches (prosodic structure, trochaic template, and perceptual salience) that have been proposed in the literature to account for children’s prosodic patterns are presented and evaluated. An analysis of children’s truncation or syllable deletion patterns revealed the following robust findings: (a) Stressed and word-final unstressed syllables are preserved more frequently than nonfinal unstressed syllables, (b) word-internal unstressed syllables with obstruent onsets are preserved more frequently than word-internal syllables with sonorant onsets, (c) unstressed syllables with non-reduced vowels are preserved more frequently than unstressed syllables with reduced vowels, and (d) right-sided stressed syllables are preserved more frequently than left-sided stressed syllables. An analysis of children’s stress patterns revealed that children made greater numbers of stress errors in target words with irregular stress. Clinical implications of these findings are presented and additional studies that have applied a metrical approach to clinical populations are described.

    pubs.asha.org
    Author: Holly L. Storkel - There are a number of evidence-based treatments for preschool children with phonological disorders (Baker & McLeod, 2011). However, a recent survey by Brumbaugh and Smit (2013) suggests that speech-language pathologists are not equally familiar with all evidence-based treatment alternatives, particularly the complexity approach. The goal of this clinical tutorial is to provide coaching on the implementation of the complexity approach in clinical practice, focusing on treatment target selection. Incorporating the complexity approach into clinical practice will expand the range of evidence-based treatment options that clinicians can use when treating preschool children with phonological disorders.
  • Nonword Repetition Tasks For Dynamic Assessment or Bilingual Evaluations 1
    www.leadersproject.org
    Author: LeadersProject - Nonword Repetition Tasks (NWRT) can be used as a dynamic assessment as opposed to static assessment. NWRTs assess phonological working memory, speech perception, phonological assembly, and short term memory. These skills can have an impact on phonological awareness, word learning, and overall language acquisition. NWRTs are a useful tool to identify children/students with developmental language disorders because they are less culturally and linguistically biased than standardized language tests, as they do not call upon a child’s/student’s prior knowledge as many standardized tests do. Rather, NWRTs ask the child/student to repeat a series of nonwords of differing syllable length and complexity of sound combinations, thereby assessing linguistic abilities that have not been taught or learned previously. Nonword repetition tasks have been analyzed by number of consonants correct or number of items correct. There are different NWRTs for several languages, which contain phonemes specific for that particular language.

  • Childhood language disorders - Childhood Language Disorders include: Preschool Language Disorders, Learning Disabilities (Reading, Spelling, and Writing), and Selective Mutism.
  • Speech sound disorders - Speech sound disorders is an umbrella term referring to any difficulty or combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, or phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments—including phonotactic rules governing permissible speech sound sequences in a language.
  • Childhood apraxia of speech - Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a disorder that involves difficulty in making speech sounds voluntarily and stringing these sounds together in the correct order to make words. A person with childhood apraxia of speech is not intellectually impaired. Speech pathologists assess, diagnose and support people with CAS.
  • Motor Speech Disorders - Dysarthria can be related to neurological damage, however it can be related to many other causes. Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder above all. A dysarthria diagnoses can come from a weakened Parkinson’s patient, a anatomy damaged TBI patient, a stroke patient with cranial nerve and strength deficits, etc).
  • Resonance disorders - Resonance disorders result from too much or too little nasal and/or oral sound energy in the speech signal. They can result from structural or functional (e.g., neurogenic) causes and occasionally are due to mislearning (e.g., articulation errors that can lead to the perception of a resonance disorder).
