What is a pigeon (pidgin) language? | a simplified language that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups that do not have a language in common |
What is a creole language? | A more complex language form that evolves from a pidgin when it is passed to the next generation; more complex; rules are present |
What does the acronym SOAP stand for and what does it describe? | Subjective Objective Assessment and Plan is a method of documentation used by a clinician to provide official notes for a patient's chart. |
What does the "subjective" part of SOAP notes document? | Part of SOAP notes that talks about how the clinician experienced client: • how client looked in therapy/affect • mood • alertness |
What does the "objective" part of SOAP notes document? | Part of SOAP notes that talks about measurable,recordable information; goals, results |
What does the "assessment" part of SOAP notes document? | Part of SOAP notes that talks about how well (or not) a client is progressing toward their therapy goals. |
What does the "plan" part of SOAP notes document? | Part of SOAP notes that tells if therapy will continue, and what future sessions will entail. |
Would minimal pair therapy be considered part of a traditional or linguistic model? | This form of therapy would be considered part of a linguistic model given it's practice of targeting more than one phoneme by pairing two words which differ in only one feature. |
What is the purpose of Minimal Pairs Therapy? | The purpose of this form of therapy is to show client how changes in phonemes can change the meaning of words and effect intelligibility. examples: cop / top tin / tip |
What is a carrier phrase? | This technique keeps therapy moving by relieving the client of having to think of a sentence to use the target word in. Example: “I have a_____________”. |
What is the concept behind the "least knowledge" approach to therapy? | The idea behind this linguistic approach to therapy is that if a harder sound is taught/learned, easier sounds will come by generalization; considered by some to be more efficient than traditional therapies. |
T or F? Linguistic approach is best for those with multiple errors. | True, this therapeutic approach is best for those clients with multiple errors. |
What is the concept behind the "most knowledge" approach to therapy? | The idea behind this traditional approach to therapy is that it is best to choose targets from sounds most like those in a client's phonetic inventory; stimulability is very important. |
Whose name is associated with the maximal oppositions technique? | Judy Geirut is associated with which technique? |
Describe the maximal oppositions technique. | A linguistic technique in which sounds that are both missing from a child’s inventory, are chosen that are maximally different from one another |
Give an example of the maximal oppositions technique. | The following is an example of which type of therapy? -ex. Child has no /t/ so choose another sound that is different in place, manner and voicing to pair with it: o /ᴣ/ palatal, fricative, voiced o /m/ bilabial, nasal, voiced |
What does the term distance metric mean? | This term refers to how clinicians choose targets--are they close together or far apart? Ex. - Some sounds are far apart in voice, place, or manner: - ex. /p/ /ʤ/ o pump / jump o pam / jam o pig / jig |
Whose name is associated with the multiple oppositions technique? | Lyn Williams is associated with which technique? |
Describe the error made by a child who would be a good candidate for multiple opposition therapy. | A child who collapses multiple sounds into the same phoneme (high level of homonymy) would be a good candidate for which type of therapy? - ex. Child replaces /k/,/s/and sh with /t/, hence, there is no way to differentiate between back, bass, and batch |
Give an example of a multiple opposition therapy excercise. | Choose preferred sound (/t/)and contrast it with 3 diff sounds (/k/, /s/, "sh"), then come up with minimal pairs o bat → back o bat → bass o bat → batch |
Whose name is associated with the cycling technique? | Barbara Hodson is associated with which technique? |
Any processes targeted for cycling should be being used by the client what percentage of the time? | Which technique targets processes which are used at least 40% of the time (60% for liquids) |
What types of processes should be chosen for cycling therapy? | These processes should be chosen for which type of therapy? ones that are: - interfering with intelligibility - initially suppressed developmentally - used more than 40% of time (liquids 60%) - are blocking other processes |
What are some advantages of the cycling technique? | The following are advantages of which technique? o easy to use o provides baseline data for clinician o fast paced o high client interest/ low frustration o can work on many processes during one cycle to increase intelligibility |
What is the definition of a cycle? | The time it takes to target all processes for 1-2hrs each. |

What is the definition of "linguistic" intervention method. | More about teaching the rules for producing a set of phonemes rather than teaching the individual sound → generalization then takes over |
What is the definition of "training broad". | Covering a greater number of sounds to encourage more sounds |
What is the definition of "training deep". | Concentrating on one area, whether phonemes or classes |
What is the definition of Shaping? | Molding features of sounds; closer & closer until child acquires sound. |
What are the two types of shaping? | Which therapy method would use the following techniques: Take sound child has → form to target sound Take child's incorrect sound → form to target sound |
What is the definition of Metaphors? | using props to illustrate properties of sound ex. - rubber band to draw out sounds; fat air vs. skinny air |

What is the Lindamood Program? | A kinesthetic/tactile approach to target identification: Exs: nosy sounds, windy sounds, lip cooler sounds |
What is the definition of Paired Stimuli? | Technique that involves finding a key environment that helps kid get target 9/10 correct. |
Give an example of a paired stimuli activity. | Example of what technique? ex. say tip correctly 9/10 times, then pair with other words: tip→ /tap/ tip→ /tæp/ tip→ /teIp/ tip→ /tʌp/ |
What are the steps of the traditional approach? | 1. perceptual training 2. establishing sound 3. stabilizing sound 4. generalizing (transferring) sound |
What happens in perceptual training? | The following is thought process of what technique? Can kid perceive correct sound? o Differentiate b/n similar sounds o Word level o Connected speech level |
What are some ways a clinician can establish a sound? | A clinician can use the following to achieve which step in the traditional approach? o Multisensory Cues o Metaphors o Teaching features: ex. Lindamood program o Phonetic placement o Shaping |
What are some ways a clinician can stabilize a sound? | The following are used to achieve which part of the traditional method? o Context utilization o Slow motion speech o Shadowing o Paired stimuli o Unison speech o Strategic errors o Carrier phrases |
T or F? The linguistic approach is best for kids with multiple errors vs single errors | True. This approach is best for kids with multiple errors vs single errors |
Name three theories that can be categorized as part of the least knowledge school of thought. | Cycling, maximal oppositions, multiple oppositions fall under "most knowledge" or "least knowledge"? |
Least Knowledge/Complexity approach chooses sounds that are: | Which approach chooses sounds that are: - absent from phonological inventory - marked/more difficult sounds - later developing sounds |
What is the definition of minimal pairs technique? | Technique that chooses one-syllable words that differ with respect to one feature (voice, place, or manner) to show kid how meaning breaks down when phonemes pronounced incorrectly ex. cop / top |
What is the definition of dyspraxia? | A disability resulting from brain damage in which the patient has difficulty programming the muscles used to produce speech (ie transmitting the signals that tell them what to do ON COMMAND. |
What is the definition of disarthria? | Neurological motor speech impairments caused by impairment of the nervous system resulting in muscle weakness. Could be in any system: Respiratory, Laryngeal, or supralaryngeal. |
What is the definition of aphasia? | Loss of the ability to use or understand language due to stroke, brain disease or injury. |

Compare vowels, consonants, and syllable shapes of Spanish to those in English | Spanish has fewer phonemes overall; 5 primary vowels; 18 consonants vs 24 for English --> 12 are shared. |
Describe "drill play" therapy and give an example. | Style of therapy in which the child is involved with the rapid production excercise. Ex. child is given a degree of control over number of productions with a spinner. |
Describe "drill" therapy and give an example. | Type of therapy in which the clinician controls the session and client's production. Ex. using flash cards with target phonemes and pictures on them that the chld must ID. |
Describe "structured play" therapy and give an example. | Style of therapy in which child has more control or involvement in the session. Ex. Clinician and child could play soccer, and the child must produce the target to get a turn. |
Describe "play" therapy and give an example. | Type of therapy which incorporates productions into the activity itself; the child perceives it as pure play. |
