Document Summary

Using whatever (picture cards) to stimulate the stimulability of the child"s production. Regardless of the intervention strategy selected phonology based treatment has some general principles: Importance of communicative (meaningful) function of speech (naturalistic contexts) Intervention begins at word level: consonants not treated as isolated units whose correct production must be mastered. They can produce the sound, just not producing the sound when they need to. Emphasise rule discovery (different sounds result in different meanings) The child needs to understand the meaning of the word changes as a sound in the word changes than what they aimed for. Intervention for toddlers is looking at what the child can do, but once pass 3, start looking at traditional and non-traditional approach. If a child"s early phonology and vocabulary seem limited then you could target: Expand vocabulary; select words that contain child"s favourite sounds (in sounds)
