The scope of practice of speech-language pathology describes the ethical and clinical responsibility of clinicians to implement therapy techniques, which contains efficacy that is supported by evidence. Non-speech oral-motor exercises (NSOMEs), in particular have raised controversy among speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and researchers when treating children with articulation and phonological disorders. The use of NSOMEs is a debated issue in the profession due to the lack of evidence based practice (EBP), poor clinical assumptions, and the avoidance of meeting the client’s needs.

 B.“From a very early age, children are motivated to learn how to speak, because speech enables them to interact with other people and, ultimately, to get what they want.”

Surrounding each home base is a cluster of resource rich activity pockets (primary activity spaces), one for each of the developmentally oriented activities for each age group in that house. Three to four activity pockets can be clustered together, each sized for 2-5 children plus a caregiver. Each activity pocket has a sense of closure, but has cross visibility and is easily visible by an adult. Each pocket has all the teaching materials, displays, and work/play surfaces necessary for that activity. Examples of the great variety necessary: block area, art studio, music corner, science corner, reading/listening area, sand/water play,

In this program our child care providers have a hands-on interaction with the children. They guide our early learners through child directed play. The child care staff provides different learning opportunities by supplying an array of activities based on the children’s interests. This program will allow the children an opportunity to become leaders in their learning, by exploring and discovering their play environment on their own, with peers and through guidance from the staff. Although we have many open-ended play opportunities, we will have a few structured activities for the children to participate in. We find it important to keep some structure within the daily schedule as this will allow the children the

The components of the Cycles Phonological Remediation Approach were developed from theories of phonological development, principles of cognitive psychology, and ongoing research in phonological acquisition (Hodson, 2006). Hodson proposes that children who are highly unintelligible would benefit from a treatment program that targets pattern errors in systematic cycles and uses auditory bombardment in combination with practice activities during therapy sessions. Clinicians interested in employing this method could benefit from research that answers the question- “is the cycles approach more effective than the traditional articulation therapy approach in the treatment of children who are highly

The participants consisted of 43 preschoolers with verbalization and sound disorders between the ages of four and five. The participants were selected through clinical recommendations in upstate New York from May 2007 to April 2008. Children were primarily from middle

According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, about two to three children out of every 1,000 are born with a detectable level of hearing impairment in the United States. Without hearing, children miss out on the acoustic correlates of the physical world, such as car horns and footsteps. Children are also limited in their exposure to patterned complexities in music and spoken word. These hard of hearing and deaf students grow and develop in unique ways compared to their hearing peers because of the stimulus they do not have. Researchers have focused on how communication methods for hard of hearing and deaf children affect their development in the physical, social-emotional, cognitive and communicative

For example, the characters on Sesame Street use child-directed speech, or speech that is often used with children that is characterized by a higher-pitched voice, slower rate of speech, and shorter phrases (Hoff, 2014). Child-directed speech is crucial to language development because it simplifies the language and makes speech easier for children to understand. Also, another characteristic of child-directed speech is the content of the speech; for example, child-directed speech often refers to objects that are present for the child and labels these objects (Hoff, 2014). Sesame Street utilizes child-directed speech to keep children engaged and foster vocabulary growth and

Clinical Implications: Minimal-contrast treatment is effective and efficient for treating children with phonological disability. Avoiding listener confusion is motivating for suppressing process use.

This year I have noticed our theme recurring throughout the year in our many stories. The pursuit of happiness stood out to me in Thoreau’s literature. Especially when he said, “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and not see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” To me, this shows that the pursuit of happiness is different for everyone. Thoreau wanted to live deliberately, he wanted to learn all that he could, so that when it came his time, he wouldn't have gone his whole life to find out that he never really lived. Thoreau found his happiness in the simplest things in life.

On February 7,1812 in Portsmouth England came an admired British novelist, Charles Dickens. Through his many famous novels such as Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations and finally A Christmas Carol. He was much loved for his great contribution to classic English literature. As he grew older, he became deeply concerned about the harsh and unnecessary plight that had been conflicting throughout Europe between the high paid classes and the low hard working classes. He was particularly worried about the health , treatment and well-being of the children in those lower classes. It was then in the writing of A Christmas Carol that he started to pull together the strands of previous works he had
