Question

What is the difference between a motor-based treatment and a linguistic-based treatment?

Outline a linguistic approach to speech sound intervention for a child with many error productions and specify for whom it is appropriate.

Discuss how one can use minimal pairs in phonological treatment.

What is the difference between minimal oppositions, maximal oppositions, and multiple oppositions?

Describe multiple opposition treatment and when might it be appropriate to use with a child.

Outline the procedures for a cycles phonological patterns approach to therapy.

Describe metaphon treatment and when it might be appropriate to use with a child.

Describe how a whole-language or naturalistic approach differs from most other treatment approaches.

Answer 1

*motor based treatment for the individuals who have the difficulty with the motor skills to pronounce or articulation.
linguistic based treatment for those who do not get expose to certain speech sounds,phonologic rules.
*usually for the children, based on the recognition that who produce sound errors because they have not learned to use certain phonologic rules,especially sound contrast,in accord with sound norm.
*a single approach of linguistic based remediation ,pairs of words differ only a single phenome.
eg;bat-cat,sun-bun etc
*minimal opposition-where single feature difference
eg;bat-cat.sun-bun
maximal opposition -more than single features.
eg; sun-ton,thumb-sum
multiple oppsition- variation from minimal contrast approach and including minimal and maximal approach.
* multiple approach therapy is used to focus on numerous minimal contrast pairs at the same time and help te child to recognize the nature of phenome collapses.
