Pre-requisites for registrants
This event is for Speech-Language Pathologists and SLP Students. Responding to participant feedback, it builds on the 2-day 2005 Speech Pathology Australia National Tour presentation: "Children's Speech Sound Disorders: A practical update” (also presented in NZ in 2005). The presenter will assume familiarity with: (1) Independent and Relational Analyses of a Child Speech Sample; (2) Four minimal pairs approaches (minimal oppositions, multiple oppositions, maximal oppositions, and empty set), Imagery Therapy, Phonotactic Therapy, and Auditory Input Therapy.

Pre-reading is available below. It is  strongly recommended that prospective participants who did not attend the National Tour workshops in 2005 familiarise themselves with these documents.

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:

	Current developments in the definition, classification, assessment, diagnosis, management and symptomatic treatment of moderate and severe speech sound disorders.
	Contemporary assessment and intervention strategies for Developmental Phonological Disorders and Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
	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.
