Facilitative Contexts for Targets and Words

Facilitative Contexts for Targets and Words

SLP

In this 60-minute seminar, we will apply our knowledge of phonetics to create facilitative contexts. Facilitative contexts offer clients an opportunity to produce a sound or word correctly based on the surrounding phonemes. This is relevant to clinicians working with children who have speech sound disorders. We will also briefly discuss the application to reading and spelling.
