Course Description
Historically, clinicians are taught to develop speech by modeling (look at me, copy me). Most techniques, regardless of the diagnosis rely on this method and many clients do well. However, there are many students who cannot make a change to speech with only auditory and visual cues. These clients with “oral placement disorders”, a term coined by Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson and Diane Bahr to describe the client who cannot make a change to speech using auditory and visual cuing alone, often struggle to make the progress we hope to see. These clients may benefit from a multi-sensory approach to include tactile input based on phonetic placement and motor learning theories. This class will discuss how and when a sensory-motor approach might benefit. These principles and techniques can be applied with a variety of clients to include clients with Speech Sound Disorders (SSD’s) as well as those with dual diagnosis (Oral-Motor Disorder (OMD) and apraxia, Dysarthria and Down Syndrome, Autism and Apraxia) to name a few. Participants will learn how a stable motor system is key to speech development and the necessary underlying skills for each sound. Motor development will be reviewed and its place in assessment and treatment will be discussed.
The course will: 1) Review the underlying motor system as a pre-requisite to the standard production of speech sounds, 2) Review OPT as a modern extension of phonetic placement theory, 3) Learn a bottom up approach to speech production- learn the systems, 4) Teaching vocalizing on command, 5) Teach a Sound Using a tool/tactile cue to facilitate speech motor planning, 6) Phoneme Sequencing, 7) Phoneme Blending, 8) Syllables Blending, 9) Syllable to Word, 10) Addressing CAS, 11) Addressing Dysarthria/OMD’s, 12) Addressing CAS, 13) Discuss how this approach is intended as an adjunct to current therapy techniques.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Define an Oral Placement Approach for Motor Speech Disorders.
- Identify the components of speech from a systems perspective.
- Summarize the sensory system and its function in teaching speech.
- Assess how the motor system functions and its impact in teaching speech.
- Apply Sensory-Motor Techniques to teaching a client to vocalize on command.
- Describe how bridging techniques are effective from OPT to Speech.
- Formulate a framework for when to use tactile phonetic placement techniques and how to fade them.
- Demonstrate techniques for teaching a sound, sequencing, blending and transition to whole word.
