B)Improving morphosyntax skills
C)Teaching decoding strategies
D)Sight-word vocabulary

Question 5

The words "take" and "make" are examples of of a word pair that might be used in a maximal oppositions approach

Question 6

Minimal contrast therapy may focus on perception and production.

Question 7

The cycles approach focuses on one speech sound until mastery is achieved.

Question 8

Which of the following therapy approaches focuses on the characteristics of speech sounds including how and where the sounds are produced:

A)Minimal pairs
B)Metaphon
C)Maximal oppositions
D)Core vocabulary

Question 9

Training words used in treatment should not include syllable shapes that the child can make.

Question 10

The theory behind minimal pairs therapy is that the contrasting phonemes raises awareness of:

A)The way that phonemes are used within the language
B)Sounds produced in the back of the mouth
C)The motoric component of speech production
D)The semantic aspects of target words

Question 11

The naturalistic approach is a therapist-centered approach.

Question 12

The multiple oppositions approach targets several sound contrasts at one time.

Question 13

The cycles approach is a non-structured therapy program.

Question 14

When a child's error patterns include errors of place,voice,and manners,it is recommended that therapists:

A)Wait to provide therapy until the child achieves more correct productions independently

D)Children with hearing loss

Question 19

A)Vocabulary review
B)Spelling probe
C)Phonological awareness activities
D)Oral motor exercises.

Question 20

A quick review of a child's single word speech production is sufficient to determine which phonemes or patterns to target in treatment.

Question 21

Provide four sets of minimal pairs (two initial and two final)to use in therapy for a child who substitutes /t/ for /k/.

Question 22

Describe a typical treatment session that uses the cycles approach.

Question 23

Discuss the two primary methods for implementing a whole-language approach to treatment.Be sure to include the specific role of the SLP during the treatment sessions.

Question 24

What are three of the four recommended primary targets in the cycles approach?
