that challenge
traditional
approaches
Theoretical basis or
support
Evidence-based
support
Theory-based
Cautionary steps
Limitations related
to study
methodologies,
sample size, etc.
May be indicated
for limited
population
OMT
Include (in addition to previous info):
What are OMEs?
How are they used?
Who are they used with?
What is the evidence-based practices of
their effectiveness?
What is the theoretical support for use of
OMEs?
CAS
Include (in addition to previous info):
Does it exist or is it a severe expression of
AI/PI?
How do you differentially diagnose CAS
from AI? From PI?
What evidence supports the existence of
CAS as a clinical entity?
What are the clinical implications of the
diagnosis of CAS?
Target Selection Factors
Include (in addition to previous info):
What do you treat?
What is the theoretical basis for the different
target selection criteria?
What are the EBP for different target selection
factors?
What are lexical factors in selection of target
words? What is the theoretical relevance, as
well as the clinical implications, of lexical
factors?
Contrast traditional to phonological complexity
approaches to target selection
Frameworks of Assessment
Include (in addition to previous info):
What aspects of communication do you assess?
How do you assess? What is your sample (singleword vs conversational speech)?
How do you analyze?
What is the theoretical basis of the frameworks?
Would you do different assessments based on type
and severity of child’s speech?
Contrast linear vs non-linear analyses; adult-based
vs child-based analyses
Contrastive Intervention
Approaches
What are they? How do they differ?
Which one should you choose? Does one
approach fit all kids?
What are the EBP for the contrastive
approaches?
What are theoretical bases for the different
approaches?
Contrast homonymous vs non-homonymous
approaches
Conversation-Based Approaches
What are they? How do they differ?
What are the EBP for these approaches?
What are the theoretical basis for these
approaches?
Should conversation-based approaches be
used with all children with speech disorders?
Contrast word-based vs conversation-based
practices
Emergent Literacy
What is it? What is encompassed by EL?
What is the SLP’s role in assessment and
treatment of EL skills?
What are the EBP of EL intervention?
What is a current model of EL acquisition?
Contrast explicit vs implicit instruction;
individual vs group; workbooks vs play-based
activities
