An articulation disorder may stand alone, be a symptom of another underlying disorder, or co-occur with developmental challenges. In this course, Linda D'Onofrio, MS, CCC-SLP, explains why a thorough differential diagnosis, a prioritized treatment plan, and individualized care matter when teaching articulation to special populations.
Linda covers the symptoms and possible underlying causes of articulation disorders, along with co-occurring disorders, environmental challenges, and developmental limitations. She shows how to prioritize care within and outside the SLP's scope of practice, building a timeline of objectives that accounts for sensory profile, oral-facial development, cognitive development, and external support. You'll also learn to teach to the individual, not the disability, by considering how each child learns and synthesizes information, what helps them feel physically and mentally secure, and how they can be accountable. Linda also addresses identifying evidence-based communication goals and customizing your strategies.
