COMD 4450 Exam 2/COMD 3120 Phonological and Articulation Goals – Flashcards

--describe the behaviors you expect the client to demonstrate by the time he is discharged from therapy --can be the same for phonological and articulation goals --more general and functional than short term goals --typically you want all speech errors to be resolved at the end of therapy

--measurable target behavior --a criterion (%) --a condition (under which behavior will be measured)

--Bubba will be 100% intelligible to an unfamiliar listener in conversational speech, during three consecutive 3 minute speech samples (GFTA, KLPA) --Bubba will correctly produce all age-appropriate phonemes with 95% accuracy during a conversational speech sample (GFTA) --Dora will be 95% intelligible to an unfamiliar listener in 3 spontaneous speech samples by the end of Speech Therapy. --Dora will reduce all phonological processes with 95% Accuracy in 3 conversational speech samples out of the therapy room. (KLPA) --Bubba will be 95% intelligible to an unfamiliar listener in all conversation speech by the end of speech therapy services. --bubba will correctly produce all age appropriate phonemes with 90% accuracy in a conversation speech sample of the end of speech therapy services.

--describe the behaviors you want the client to demonstrate withing the semester, school year, or other specified time frame. --time frame of ST goals depends on the employment setting and/or the policies of the school district --targets must be justified by specific test results --criteria should be attainable

--a phoneme --a position --level of complexity --criteria *** articulation goals focus on the correct production of individual phonemes

-- Mary will correctly produce the /s/ phoneme in the initial position of ten one-syllable words following a clinician model with 95% accuracy --Mary will correctly produce the /r/ phoneme in the initial position at the spontaneous conversation level with 80% accuracy -- Bubba will correctly produce the /h/ phoneme in the initial word position with 90% accuracy in 3 conversational speech samples. --Bubba will correctly produce the /k/ phoneme in isolation with 95% accuracy in 10 one syllable words following a clinician model. --Bubba will correctly produce the /g/ phoneme in the initial, medial and final positions with 90% accuracy in spontaneous sentences.

-- phonological goals emphasize facilitating emergence of intelligible speech patterns or suppression of phonological processes, in contrast to establishing perfect phonemes. --phonological process is a rule governed error --want clients to reduce, suppress, eliminate phonological processes --phonological pattern is a rule client must follow to produce intelligible speech -- want clients to correctly produce patterns

--phonological process/pattern --level of complexity --criterion

--Mary will suppress the process of initial consonant deletion in spontaneous sentences with 90 % accuracy --Mary will eliminate the presence of velar fronting by training 80% correct production of /k/, /g/, and /nj/ in conversational speech across 3 speech samples gathered in the client's home. -- Mary will correctly produce initial singleton consonants in spontaneous sentences with 90% accuracy --Mary will correctly produce velar sounds by training 80% correct production of /k/, /g/, and /nj/ in conversational speech across 3 speech samples gathered in a clients home. ***Dora will produce velar sounds by training 90% correct production of the /k/, /g/, /nj/, in 3 spontaneous samples at therapy, school and home. ***Dora will correctly produce palatal sounds in conversational speech by training with 95% accuracy the production of /d3/, /tf/, /f/. ***Dora will reduce the process of stopping of fricatives in spontaneous sentences with 95% accuracy ***Dora will eliminate the process of cluster simplification in 3 conversational speech samples from home, school and therapy with 90% accuracy.
