Differential Diagnosis & Treatment Planning for Speech Sound Disorders

Differential Diagnosis & Treatment Planning for Speech Sound Disorders

This session provides a comprehensive guide to differential diagnosis and treatment planning for speech sound disorders (SSDs). Linda D’Onofrio, a leading expert in orofacial myology and speech-language pathology, breaks down the complexities of identifying and addressing SSDs. She emphasizes the importance of assessing underlying structural, neurological, and motor-based factors that contribute to speech difficulties.

The discussion includes practical strategies for distinguishing between phonological, articulatory, and motor speech disorders, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective intervention plans. Participants will learn how to integrate evidence-based assessment tools, analyze speech patterns, and develop targeted therapy approaches that align with each child's specific needs.

This course is essential for speech-language pathologists seeking to refine their diagnostic skills and improve treatment outcomes. By applying these techniques, clinicians can create individualized therapy plans that promote clearer and more effective communication for their clients.

Key Questions:
- How can clinicians differentiate between phonological, articulatory, and motor-based speech sound disorders?
- What assessment tools and techniques are most effective for identifying underlying causes of speech sound disorders?
- How can treatment plans be tailored to address the unique needs of each client while incorporating evidence-based interventions?
