Expediting Progress for Children with Severe Phonological Disorders
Course: #6191Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 78 Reviews
While treatment of phonology and articulation disorders has traditionally focused on developmental sequences and treating stimulable sounds, research by Judith Gierut and colleagues indicates that a reverse sequence of target selection may actually increase the rate of speech sound acquisition and generalization for children with severe speech sound disorders. This course will focus on principles of target selection using Gierut’s approach, and on implementation of evidence-based practices in phonology therapy to facilitate more rapid acquisition of error sounds.
Learning Outcomes
- After this course, participants will be able to identify necessary elements of phonological assessment to support selection of appropriate phonemic targets for intervention.
- After this course, participants will be able to list 4 therapy strategies that facilitate phonological development in young children.
- After this course, participants will be able to list 3 characteristics of appropriate phonological targets.
- After this course, participants will be able to describe maximal phonetic contrasts and give examples.

This is totally new information I had not been exposed to before. It certainly challenges my thoughts on articulation therapy and the choices I make about which error sounds I choose to target.

It was eye opening, research-based, and used great examples! The approach is certainly counter-intuitive to what we've been taught, but I'm looking forward to putting this knowledge into practice.

I really enjoy this presenter. She is organized and presents the information in a manner which is easy for me to learn. I love the examples she provides and the fax this is something she does every day at her school. I know that with what I have learned from her, I will be able to go into school tomorrow and begin applying what I learned with the students on my case load. I would like to thank Speech Pathology.com and the speaker for the wealth of knowledge you have shared with us on the topic of phonological processing.

I love this presenter! Her lectures are always full of valuable information that is easily broken down and practical. I love how she instructs rather than just reads to us and she uses a good amount of video and audio supports.

Specific information was given rather than general information. Details about evaluations and references to older methods to contrast and compare. Videos and handouts were helpful and can be used in daily therapy.

Organized presentation of content. Conceptually, this builds upon what I already know about phonology, and speech-sound remediation, and I like very much the fact that she addressed the potential for addressing phonemic awareness skills! I try to do this as much as possible. Also, I love this format, because it allows the opportunity to pause, take notes, and even backtrack when you miss something, though this clearly has the potential for making a one-hour presentation turn into a three-hour one!! Was left with a few questions, though. She did not talk about using final consonant minimal contrast. Also, She never did answer the question about whether it is advisable to tackle sounds that are of questionable developmental appropriateness (e.g., for a seven-year-old, may as well tackle /r/ as /k/, but how about for a four-year-old?) Third, would have been useful to present more ideas about games, and how to address very directly the contrastive nature. Finally, could have used more info about differentiating apraxia from phono disorders, too, but that might be for another talk...

Interesting concept, but approach is SO different than what I have always been taught (even by recent CEUs and grad school only 5 years ago) that it was hard to get on board with the concept. Would like to see more research in the presentation on positive impact of this approach compared to traditional phonological approaches.

The slides were organized and easy to follow. Specifically, the phonology funnel helped summarize the slides on teaching maximal pair contrasts. I did not feel as though the instructor was simply reading from the slide, but actually teaching the material.

Instructor seemed to require lots of pauses to collect thoughts or progress to the next sections, which sometimes made me question whether the recording was still active/functioning properly. Also, the pace seemed somewhat uneven, progressing quickly at times through more important concepts but then lingering over more seemingly common-sense sections.
