Study Notes
Home Strategies for CAS
- CAS therapy typically involves 60-120 trials per session, contrasting with phonological disorder approaches using 10-30 trials.
- High production frequency accelerates target acquisition, improving in-session performance and generalization to untrained tasks.
- Increased practice leads to greater carryover and generalization.
Self-Esteem
- Prioritise love and support to boost the child's self-esteem.
- Avoid making home practice onerous or painful for the child.
- Modeling correct production is beneficial, prompting mirror neuron activation.
Setting Up the Home for Success
- Focus on home practice targets requiring minimal effort.
- Limit the number of targets.
- Help parents establish realistic expectations for accurate target production.
- Implement strategies for effective feedback.
- Promote communication among all involved parties.
Blame the Muscles!
- Attribute errors to the muscles rather than the child.
- Encourage repetitions to maintain positive self-perception.
- Accept occasional non-responses as normal during target presentation; motor neuron excitation is acceptable.
- Provide a signal to the child when a target sound or word is produced incorrectly.
Speech Model
- Use a slower speech to enhance comprehension.
- Model specific phrasings (e.g., "please," "thank you") without expecting repetition.
- Pause after posing a question to allow for formulated responses.
How Many Targets to Include in Home Practice
- Reduce the number of targets for less verbal children (even a single target might suffice).
- Increase the number of targets commensurate with the child's verbal ability.
- Replicate each target 3-5 times.
Speech Models to Avoid!
- Avoid overemphasizing the final sounds of words to mitigate schwa insertion.
- Avoid unnatural word segmentation.
- Avoid utilizing equal syllable stress patterns.
Include Siblings!
- Utilize interactive games like Simon Says and copying activities.
- Design games where the child teaches siblings a new target word.
- Foster self-esteem and confidence through sibling interactions; utilize those to sharpen self-awareness and editing skills.
Don't Wait to Work on Prosody
- Model target words prolonging vowel duration within the stressed syllables.
- Employ diverse intonation patterns to produce varied vocal pitches.
- Vary the speech intensity in different styles (whisper, loud, angry, happy).
