Course Description
Historically, clinicians find it difficult to diagnose and treat speech disorders that fall under the umbrella of motor speech disorders particularly when a diagnostic incident has not occurred or the child with a single diagnosis. Children with motor speech sound disorders include the client with Childhood Dysarthria (CD), Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and Oral-Motor Disorders (OMD’s) fall into this category.
In this first part of this series, TalkTools Instructor Renee Roy Hill will discuss differential diagnosis of SSD’s particularly focusing on the characteristics of motor speech disorders that differentiate them from other developmental speech sound disorders such as a Phonological Disorder or Developmental Articulation Disorder. This course will begin with a self-study to focus on Defining motor speech disorders by function and characteristic, as well as look at various assessment tools available to assist the clinician in identifying the correct diagnosis in speech. We will then begin to look at the client with a dual diagnosis and its implications. Treatment Options currently used for CAS and CD will be explored to include what the research says, current recommended approaches and the criteria for choosing them.
This series will conclude with tying in OPT and Myofunctional techniques along with the principles of motor learning with a focus on speech production to develop a speech-focused program plan for the client with a motor speech disorder or dual diagnosis.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Define a Sensory-Motor Approach for Speech Clarity and who might benefit.
- Understand when an alternative treatment approach is recommended and why.
- Identify the 4 Domain Evaluation Process.
- Discover how a Multi-Sensory Approach to shaping speech clarity can be effective for clients with dual diagnosis or persistent articulation errors.
- Develop a framework for when to use a motor based approach and why: Speech from a systems perspective: Dysarthria, CAS, Persistent articulation Errors, OMD’s.
- Learn the Muscle-Motor connection and specific bridging techniques to move from motor activity to speech (and the muscle link)
- Review strategies for working with clients who are pre-verbal or pre-imitation.
