Linguistically-Based Approaches to Intervention

A collection of flashcards for reviewing linguistically-based approaches to intervention, highlighting key principles, methods, and practices.

What is the goal of contrast approaches in intervention?

To replace error patterns with appropriate phonological patterns.

What are the steps involved in minimal contrast training?

1. Select the contrast to be trained. 2. Select pictures of the contrast words. 3. Instruct the child to pick up the object related to the contrast word.

Why is contrast training effective for children?

Because it shows that the sound used makes a semantic difference.

What are maximal contrast training sounds defined by?

Sounds differ by at least 2 features.

What type of children is maximal oppositions/complexity therapy best suited for?

Children with individual sound errors.

What does complexity therapy assume about later-developing sounds?

They are more complex than earlier-developing sounds.

What is the first step in Hodson’s Cycles Approach?

Stimulation using auditory, tactile, and visual cues to increase awareness of target sounds.

What is meant by 'auditory bombardment' in Hodson's cycles approach?

The SLP exaggerates the sounds during therapy.

In what setting is naturalistic recast intervention primarily focused?

In the child's natural settings.

What are some morphosyntactic skills that can connect with speech sound production?

Final consonant deletion or cluster reduction can affect morpheme use.

What types of morphemes are affected by phonological processes?

Past tense –ed, plural –s, regular 3rd person –s, and possessive –s.
