Workshop content
Highly unintelligible children with complex difficult-to-analyze speech sound systems can pose demanding diagnostic, intervention, and information sharing challenges for all Speech-Language Pathologists. This master class is about working with such children and their families. The emphasis will be on the developments this decade in the classification, differential diagnosis and management of Moderate and Severe Phonological Disorders and Childhood Apraxia of Speech and ways of streamlining treatment and expediting therapy gains.

Learning objectives
At the conclusion of the event the participant will be familiar with:

bullet

Current developments in the definition, classification, assessment, diagnosis, management and symptomatic treatment of moderate and severe speech sound disorders.

bullet

Contemporary assessment and intervention strategies for Developmental Phonological Disorders and Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

bullet

Means of effecting optimal treatment gains through explicitly principled target selection, goal setting, stimulability training and pre-practice, and therapy that is grounded in evidence, theory and best practice.
