Minimal pair contrast therapy o What is the therapy?
Minimal pair contrast therapy is a phonologically based approach that refers to the therapeutic use of pairs of words that differ by only one phoneme. It could be targeting one or more phonemes that are not in the child’s inventory. It teaches one target phoneme by pairing it with another produced- correctly phoneme. Or it targets two phonemes that are both absent from the child’s inventory, by pairing them together. For instance, jar & car represent a minimal pair.

o When to use Minimal pair contrast therapy?
It is mainly used with children with expressive language difficulties, who exhibit mild-moderate phonological impairments. Moreover, it is best suited with children who are stimulable for the target sound and have consistent errors …show more content…

(Steps).
1. Discussion of words. Clinician should make the child familiar with the words chosen, making sure the child can understand the concept of the word and its paired picture. The clinician may ask the child about the concept of the picture, for example: if the chosen minimal pair was bee,tea; the clinician should ask the child: which is a drink? Or which is an animal?.
2. Discrimination testing and training. The aim of this step is to make sure the child can discriminate between the two sounds selected, by repeating the two words randomly and ask the child to point towards the representative picture. Both poor memory skills and auditory discrimination can affect the child’s ability to discriminate, this must be noticed before continuing the therapy.
3. Production training. Clinicians instruct the child to tell them which picture to pick up. If the child produces the same word for the two pictures then the clinician will pick up the same picture twice, therefore the clinician will pick the non- intended word the child produced. If the child is not able to articulate one of the targeted sound then a motor approach could be

This way I will be able to gauge whether or not students are grasping the foundation of the lesson. A student who is not able to identify the correct organ - sense match will need more work on identifying their own senses. Second, I will have a quick worksheet for students to work on that will allow me to determine whether or not the students are able to identity sensory words and concrete detail for an object by sense. A student who is not able to come up with descriptions based on a couple of senses will not have met the expectations for this lesson and will need additional

The sounds are taught in a particular way, not to sound like the letters for example, the sound for t would be taught as this short sound and not as 'tee' or 'tuh. The simpler and most commonly used sounds will be the first to be taught, as these are also straightforward (s, a, t, l, p and n).These can then be put together to form many simple three- letter words, which can be sounded out by children from a relatively early stage (for example, p-i-n' or c-u-p). Children's confidence usually develops quickly and they can sound out different words quite easily as they start to blend combinations of sounds together an important stage of this process. As children

A language sample analysis (LSA) is a tool that generates the coding and transcriptions of a language sample to document the language used every day in various speaking situations (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). Language samples are typically 50-100 words in length and are voice-recorded and then transcribed by the clinician. Language samples are done using spontaneous speech, such as typical conversation, or narrative contexts, such as story or event recalls (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). The speech-language pathologist (SLP) will take the recording and write out, in the exact words of the child and clinician, every utterance (Bowen, 2011). The SLP will then "code" the sample.

The speech pathologist targeted these goals through a clinician-directed approach. He utilized drills to elicit the targeted responses (i.e. banana, orange, bread). Through the use of pictures, he asked (i.e. what is this) the child to name the item presented. The task was highly structured and controlled. During training, the words expected were repeated a number of times before testing the child.
