This intensive, full-day workshop will equip SLPs with advanced strategies for effectively and efficiently addressing challenging speech sound disorders. This session will cover how to implement evidence-based approaches for remediating severe phonological impairments, techniques for treating challenging articulation errors, like lateral lisps and /r/ distortions, as well as methods for effectively addressing motor speech deficits among children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Content will be presented through real-life case studies to illustrate clinical decision-making and the application of techniques.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how to determine the most appropriate approach given the subtype of speech sound disorder (SSD) being treated.
2. Learn how to implement evidence-based interventions for some of the most challenging SSDs.
3. Discuss strategies for elicitation and generalization to help children of all ages with various subtypes of SSDs.
