Description: This episode course focuses on how to properly assess the speech mechanism for underlying structural/functional deficits that could impede progress in therapy and provide practical strategies to help SLPs elicit non-lateralized target phonemes using phonetic shaping and cognitive reframing. Considerations for target selection and strategies to promote generalization will also be addressed. Earn 1 clock hour of continuing education credit (Introductory Level, Professional Area).

As a result of this presentation the participant will be able to:  

1. Describe how phonetic shaping is used to elicit non lateral speech sounds. 2. Describe how cognitive reframing can make it easier to produce correct production of target phonemes. 3. Describe how complexity theory can be used for target selection to simplify speech therapy intervention.
