assessments.
3. identify phonological processes being used in children’s speech.
4. develop appropriate treatment plans, at a basic level, from assessment
results of children and adults with articulation or phonological disorders.
5. develop and implement basic lesson plans/daily plans consistent with
goals outlined in specific treatment plans for children with articulation or
phonological disorders.
6. write clear and complete behavioral objectives.
7. accurately complete independent and dependent analyses
8. discuss phonological awareness at a basic level
9. discuss the importance of non-standardized measures as a part of a
complete articulation assessment.
Course Requirements:
1. Class Attendance. Students are expected to attend all classes.
2. Class Participation. Students are expected to contribute to class
discussions and participate in all class activities.
3. Tests and final examination. There will be a midterm and final.
4. Scoring of Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation (GFTA) and The
Khan Lewis Phonological Process Analysis (KLPA)– Each student
team will transcribe child’s responses from the GFTA as made available
on Blackboard. Further each team will analyze, score, and summarize
results with support for, or against inclusion in therapy.
5. Exercises from Bleile book. Students will complete question sets each
week as assigned beginning the week of Jan. 17th.
6. Independent Analysis. Students will complete an independent analysis
from data presented in class.
7. Therapy Activities Resource – Each student will create 10 original
therapy activities. Each activity will be completely described so that
others might implement the activity. Included will be: complete
behavioral objective for each session, description of techniques used in
each session and the approach from which each comes, age of client,
reinforcement used, and materials needed. Instructor will provide
examples. Students will post three favorites on Blackboard for sharing.
8. Class Presentation – Students will choose 2 partners, and in groups of
three, write a daily plan and present an abbreviated version of it to the
class just as it would be executed as part of a therapy session. (20 minute
session). Instructor will assign each team a specific “client” (age and
goal) for use in the class presentation.
9. Therapy Session Observation and write-up- Each student will observe
two articulation therapy sessions in the UNCG Speech and Hearing
Clinic or other setting as approved by instructor. Each student will
prepare a write-up detailing the observation, including specific
goal targeted, techniques used, and reinforcement implemented.
**** Optional Chapter Questions. Students will complete question sets,
or portions of question sets, at the end of each chapter.

Honor Code and Class Attendance
Students must abide by the UNCG Academic Honor Policy at all times. All
assignments and examinations must be pledged in order to receive credit.
A complete description of this policy may be found in the UNCG Policies
for Students. The instructor will promptly investigate any suspicion of an
infraction, and College procedures will be followed. I do not take this
lightly.
Class attendance is expected. Absences will be excused only with a doctor’s
excuse or letter from the Dean explaining the reason. If 10% of classes are
missed, the student’s final grade will be lowered one letter.
Disability Statement
The instructor will make all appropriate accommodations for students’
documented learning disabilities. Students must bring documentation,
complete with all recommendations, from Office of Disability Services to
instructor during the first week of class.
Extra Credit:
There is no extra credit.
