Phonology final

markedness

relatively harder

unmarkedness

easier and more natural

Traditional Articulation approach

teaching specific sounds one at a time

Phonological approach:

 focuses on correcting patterns of errors that affect multiple sounds 

Articulation therapy progression

Termination in criteria in spontaneous contexts should be set at 50% 

1. Sensory perceptual training 

1. Need to be able to hear the difference 

2. They need to know that what they are saying is wrong

1. Production of the sound in isolation

Sounds in context

Contrastive approach

Minimal pairs (get them to see that saying things a certain way changes the meaning)

Cycles approach

• Several sounds in a rotating sequence to gradually improve the child’s sound system

Complexity approach

• Begins with harder sounds to trigger learning of easier sounds

if a child demonstrated a high degree of consonant cluster reduciton, list some grammatical morphemes that might be misarticulated

plural s: cats, dogs, drinks

third person: works, likes

possessive: it’s, her’s

CAS and Cleft palate what is common?
