Description:
Residual /ɹ/ errors and lateral lisps can be among the most difficult articulation distortions to remediate. This session explores how to properly assess the speech mechanism for underlying structural/functional deficits that could impede progress in treatment. The speaker provides practical strategies to help SLPs elicit target phonemes using a phonetic approximation approach along with cognitive reframing. The session also addresses considerations for target selection and strategies to promote generalization.
Learning Outcomes:
You will be able to:
Identify key components of a speech assessment that can help you understand underlying structural/functional impairments
Describe two new methods for successful elicitation of target phonemes
Describe how target selection and phoneme word position can improve correct production of target phonemes
