Articulation +

How many of you are already using any articulation app onyour device?



The process...

1. Evaluate articulation skills

2. If in school determine eligibility for services

3. Determine patterns of speech errors

4. Select Goals for therapy

5. Initiate treatment

6. Measure Progress



Standardized assessment provides a

limited picture of a child’s phonetic

and phonemic inventory. (Elbert &

Gierut, 1986)

Phonology Assessment

Sunny

Articulation &

Phonology Test



“The Sunny Articulation Phonology Test (SAT) is anindividually administered clinical tool for screening,identification, diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of

articulation skills in English speaking individuals.”

Let’s see it in action!



The Sunny Articulation Phonology Test can be used to:-Collect information regarding an individual’s articulation skills;

-Supplement data of a standardized articulation measure;

-Determine the presence of an articulation errors;

-Measure treatment efficacy;



This is not a test for determining eligibility- it is notstandardized.

This is a test used for identifying patterns of

speech errors

The evidence is not on the tool but onhow you use the tool. However, some

tools used the evidence to drive itsdevelopment.



“Phonetic placement has beenshown to be effective for teaching achild how to say a new sound.”

(Powel, Elbert, Miccio, Strike-Roussos, &

Brasseur, 1998).

“Correct placement is essential to

progress.”

Bauman-Waengler (2004); Secord (2007)

The Evidence and the Apps

“When children are taught how to listen to a new speech sound as well as how to

say the new speech sound, they progress twice as fast as when the treatment

program focuses only on correct pronunciation”

(Jamieson & Rvachew, 1992; Rvachew, 1994; Rvachew,Nowak, & Cloutier, 2004; Rvachew, Rafaat, & Martin,

1999).

What does this mean?Choose apps with some sort of voice recorder.

Cognitive monitoring of production is essential toprogress. (Ertmer & Ertmer, 1998)



Apps do not replace you.

Do not use the iDevices as a television ;-)

Still plan your therapy- the apps are just the activity.
