Helping children generalize their speech skills into spontaneous speech can be one of the most challenging aspects of intervention for speech sound disorders. This course will describe how generalization strategies differ based on the nature of a child’s specific speech sound disorder, phonological vs. motor-based errors. The presenter will also address considerations for dismissal from direct speech intervention and will use real-life intervention videos to demonstrate practical tips you can put into practice immediately.
Learning Outcomes:
After completing this session, you will be able to:
discuss how generalization strategies differ with phonological vs. motor-based articulation disorders
describe how incorporating principles of motor learning into intervention sessions encourages generalization
identify considerations for dismissal from direct speech services
