Description
of Presentation
This workshop is focused on assessment and treatment of children
who have oral-motor impairment, especially motor planning
problems, contributing to their speech disorder. Assessment
techniques are discussed and modeled. Discussion is focused
on how to use assessment data to determine the relative contribution
of motor impairment (vs. cognitive and/or linguistic) in children
who have speech impairment. Special attention is given to
treatment issues and techniques in childhood apraxia of speech.
Participants learn basic principles related to motor learning
and how these can be incorporated in treatment planning and
implementation. Discussion includes how to design treatment
approaches specific to a particular child's linguistic, motor
planning and motor execution problems. Techniques for facilitating
assembly/activation of motor plans, as well as methods to
facilitate execution are described and modeled. Individual
cases are presented via video tape for additional discussion
of treatment planning and implementation.
