1. Analysis of a Speech Sample
Independent and Relational Analyses  1 Page

This is a 1-page summary of the various clinically useful analyses that can be performed once a child's single word and connected speech samples have been gathered.


2. Backward Build-ups for polysyllables
A therapy technique for multi-syllabic words
Backward build-ups have long been used used in ESL and teaching (and in teaching children and adults other languages too). Velleman (2003) advocates backward build-ups as a therapy technique for multi-syllabic words, especially with children with CAS. You start with as much of the end of the word a child can say. This might even be ALL of the word except the first syllable. Here are two examples.

dictionary
teach and strengthen "arry"
THEN
teach and strengthen "shun-arry"
THEN
teach and strengthen "dick-shun-arry"
THEN
modify the stress and timing (prosodic features)
until you have dictionary

California
teach and strengthen "yuh"
THEN
teach and strengthen "forn-juh"
THEN
teach and strengthen "lee-forn-yuh"
THEN
teach and strengthen "callie-forn-yuh"
THEN
modify the stress and timing (prosodic features)
until you have California


 3. Backward Chaining (key, king)
Backward  chaining is another technique that has been around for a long time, and it can be used to facilitate the production of two-syllable words in children who only produce monosyllables. What you do is have the child produce the second syllable first. For example:

king words
KING-ta-
KING-ma-
KING-wa
etc.
and then "shift" the stress to get taking, making, waking, etc.

key words
KEY-mong
KEY-duck
KEY-hang
etc.
and then "shift" the stress to get monkey, duckie, hankie, etc.

Provide simultaneous models at first if necessary and then "fade" the model, Integral Stimulation style, using DTTC if necessary. There are two sets of  pictures to use for this below.

King Words 1 Page King Words 2 1 Page

Key Words  1 Page Key Words 2 1 Page


4. Chaining for SI stops (key, king)
It is quite common among speech disordered populations to find children who can produce stops word finally (SFWF) and syllable finally within words (SFWW) but not word initially (SIWI) and at the beginnings of syllables within words (SIWW). This is particularly the case for /k/ and /g/. A variation of backward chaining can be used to address this difficulty. You use final velars that the child can produce to facilitate initial velars. For example, using the 'King Words' and 'Key Words' above to elicit 'king' and 'key', rehearse:

MONG-key
DONG-key
BLING-key
etc.

Gradually reduce the stress on the first syllable and "shift" it to the second syllable, making it more and more prominent.

mong-KEY
dong-KEY
bling_KEY
etc.

Moving at the child's pace, work towards just mouthing or cueing the first syllable (silently) so that the child is saying "key",  on his/her own with a strong onset /k/.

Follow this up with strings of:

key-keep
key-keys
key-keen
key-keel
key-quiche
etc

and then introduce other vowels.


5. Communicative Styles
Adults can modify the way they talk to reticent children in order for facilitate richer conversational exchanges. This is a slide show for SLPs to use when "educating" parents, teachers, and other adults about talking to children with speech and language impairments.

10. Modelling and Recasting
Here is the 2006 version of an old favourite. It is a
slide show for Speech-Language Pathologists to use when communicating with parents and caregivers about children with speech sound disorders. Colleagues are free to save it on their own computers and to modify it to suit their own work environments. If you do so, please acknowledge the original work of the author.

The "fixed-up-one" routine is a metalinguistic technique that enables adults to talk simply to children about revisions and repairs. Scripts are provided to families to introduce them to the technique. There is an informational slide show, a handout, and 11  therapy work sheets below.

18. Yahoo! Groups
CHILD SPEECH DISCUSSION for SLPs
phonologicaltherapy
Phonologicaltherapy is a listserv (discussion group) for clinicians, including student clinicians, speech and language researchers and university teachers. Most participants are Speech-Language Pathologists and Linguists. Members explore theoretical and research issues related to developmental phonological disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, and other childhood speech sound disorders, and their clinical management. Interested consumers are welcome to join. Note that the group is for professional discussion not consumer advice and support.

CHILD SPEECH RESOURCES for SLPs
speechfiles
Speechfiles is an extensive collection of child speech resources of interest to members of the phonlogicaltherapy group (see above). It was created in February 2006 because we were about to exceed our 20MB storage capacity on our main page. It is not a discussion group.
