Cracking The Code: Differential Diagnosis of Speech Sound Disorders

This 2-HOUR COURSE  will help you sharpen your diagnostic skills, enabling you to confidently distinguish articulation, phonological, and motor speech disorders.

What you'll learn:

  1. Identify which key components of a thorough assessment should be considered for differential diagnosis of speech sound disorders (SSDs)
  2. Recognize when evaluation findings suggest the involvement of other specialists (e.g., orofacial myologist, ENT, craniofacial team, etc.)
  3. Interpret assessment findings to distinguish articulation disorders vs. phonological impairments vs. motor-based SSDs
  4. Apply diagnostic decision-making strategies to guide the selection of evidence-based treatment plans
  5. Recognize common diagnostic pitfalls and how to avoid misclassification of SSDs

Match The Method: Selecting The Best Approach for Speech Sound Disorders

This 2-HOUR COURSE will teach you exactly how to choose the most effective treatment approach based on what your assessment reveals.

What you'll learn:

  1. Differentiate phonological interventions from motor-based treatment approaches.
  2. Identify when it's appropriate to use specific phonological approaches, including minimal pairs, multiple oppositions, complexity, cycles, and core vocabulary.
  3. Summarize key components of articulation-based interventions (e.g., speech motor chaining) and determine when they are appropriate.
  4. Describe distinguishing features of motor-based approaches for CAS and dysarthria, including DTTC, ReST, and other movement-focused methods.
  5. Determine when to use approaches for children with very limited phonetic inventories, including the stimulability approach.
