It has outdated education regarding non-speech oral exercises. The brain requires ROM to help map oral sensorimotor function and not all NSOEs should be thrown out with the bath water. Additionally teaching signs in conjunction with speech and articulation is evidence-based, and not a waste of time and effort (done simultaneously), nor does it imply speech is too difficult. It augments therapy and improves end metrics. Please check research and adjust advice given here.

For a child who would be unintelligible, it was odd not to read any comments regarding AAC in the school setting. Therapy working on speech sounds with the order is great information, but I feel like I would be doing the child a disservice if they could not independently communicate with peers and adults and then be denied access access to a SGD that could help facilitate those needs in an academic setting.
by

The therapy hierarchy, especially starting from nasals and then using their placement to facilitate counterpart (due to placement) phonemes in plosives (e.g., /m/ to /b/) was helpful. It was also helpful to understand the necessity of going straight to articulation therapy and not using sign to facilitate language development, which is what is often done in early intervention therapy for children with language delay.

Frankly, anything by the author is great. Kushner has dedicated her career to working with folks with VCFS. She has also dedicated her career to helping the rest of us learn how to strengthen our knowledge so that we, too, can be successful in helping these kids and other kids who struggle with VPI. I thought the info on the sounds to begin with was extremely helpful. I copied the article so I could refer back to it as needed.

Some of the content was very helpful, however I was stunned to see that the use of sign language was discouraged. The presenter did state that her position may be controversial, however enhancing communication is so important. I do realize that it is important to devote therapy time to speech production however the statement seemed to discourage the use of sign. Basic sign can be covered and the family can incorporate that outside of therapy time to promote positive communication interactions
