Answer 1

VIII. CORE VOCABULARY APPROACH

• A. Introduction
• Designed for the 10% of children with functional SSDs characterized by inconsistent errors on the same words
• These children don’t have CAS
• Been used with 2-year olds, bilingual children, Down Syndrome

Question 2

Inconsistent SSD: assess child’s multiple productions of the same _______ in the same __________ context**

For example: (25 different pictures on 3 separate trials within one session)

• 1. Child is asked to produce “cat”
• 2. Activity
• 3. Asked to produce “cat”
• 4. Activity
• 5. Asked to produce “cat”

Scoring

• Identical production (regardless of _________) = 0
• Word produced __________ = 1
• Total score converted to %age—___% meets criterion for inconsistent SSD

Answer 2

Inconsistent SSD: assess child’s multiple productions of the same word in the same phonetic context**

For example: (25 different pictures on 3 separate trials within one session)

• 1. Child is asked to produce “cat”
• 2. Activity
• 3. Asked to produce “cat”
• 4. Activity
• 5. Asked to produce “cat”

Scoring

• Identical production (regardless of accuracy) = 0
• Word produced differently = 1
• Total score converted to %age—40% meets criterion for inconsistent SSD

Question 4

IX. Language Treatment for Phonological Disorders–PBH**

• PBH: research is ____________ re: the question: Can language therapy improve children’s speech skills?
• Bottom line: If the child has a language and speech disorder, best to do both language and speech therapy ____________.

In other words, don’t just do language therapy and hope that somehow better speech sound production will magically improve
