The main goal of the cycles approach is
to eliminate the phonological processes from the child’s speech
. It is meant to act similarly to the natural development of phonology in young children. Here, the development occurs gradually over time, starting from the easiest words at the beginning.
What is the cycles approach used for?
The main goal of the cycles approach is

. It is meant to act similarly to the natural development of phonology in young children. Here, the development occurs gradually over time, starting from the easiest words at the beginning.
What is the cycles approach Asha?
The cycles approach
targets phonological pattern errors
and is designed for children with highly unintelligible speech who have extensive omissions, some substitutions, and a restricted use of consonants. Treatment is scheduled in cycles ranging from 5 to 16 weeks.
When was the cycles approach created?
The Cycles Approach (Hodson & Paden,
1983, 1991
) is an intervention method used with severe phonological disorders. The Cycles Approach (Hodson & Paden, 1983, 1991) addresses a child’s use of phonological processes by cyclically targeting affected sound classes.
Is cycles approach evidence based?
Conclusion: Considering the research studies over the past three decades, Cycles Approach can be considered as
an evidence-based treatment
and the therapists can apply it as an appropriate method to interfere with the speech sound disorders in children having moderate to severe phonological disorders.
How do you set up a cycles approach?
- Review words from the last session.
- Auditory bombardment (1-2 minutes).
- Introduction of target words for the session (usually 5-6 words).
- Play games requiring the child to practice the target words.
- Probe for next session targets.
- Repeat auditory bombardment.
What is the Stimulability approach?
Traditionally, ‘stimulable’ has meant that
a consonant or vowel can be produced in isolation by a child
, in direct imitation of an auditory and visual model with or without instructions, cues, imagery, feedback and encouragement.
What is mild articulation disorder?
Children with articulation disorders typically have
mild to moderate deficits in speech intelligibility
. Their difficulties may be identified as early as the preschool years or not until elementary school age. One known cause of articulation disorders is permanent bilateral mild to moderate hearing loss.
What are the four types of articulation errors?
There are four types of errors in articulation. These are best remebered as the acronym S.O.D.A. SODA stands for
Substitution, Omission, Distortion, and Addition
.
Is phonological disorder a developmental delay?
When a child has a phonological delay they are following a typical pattern of speech development but are demonstrating developmental phonological errors that
typically should have disappeared 6 or more months earlier
. A phonological delay can impact a child’s production of certain sounds making their speech unclear.
When should Deaffrication be eliminated?
| Assimilation (Consonant Harmony) One sound becomes the same or similar to another sound in the word | Process Description Likely Age of Elimination** | Gliding liquid (/r/, /l/) is replaced with a glide (/w/, /j/) 6–7 | Deaffrication affricate is replaced with a fricative 4 |
|---|
When do we use minimal pairs approach?
Who is it for? The Minimal Pairs Approach is suitable for
children with mild or moderate speech sound disorders
, with one or two phonological processes that are no longer age-appropriate. It can also be used with people who are looking to modify their accent.
What is the multiple oppositions approach?
In a multiple opposition approach,
the child is confronted with several sounds simultaneously within a phoneme collapse
. The goal is then to induce multiple phonemic splits that have been previously collapsed in order to reduce the homonymy in the child’s system.
What is the complexity approach?
Within a complexity approach,
targets are selected for treatment based on characteristics of the targets
(e.g., developmental norms, implicational universals) and characteristics of children’s knowledge of the targets (e.g., accuracy, stimulability).
What is maximal oppositions approach?
The maximal oppositions approach
pairs one sound that is known (i.e., used)
by the child and one sound that is unknown (i.e., not used) by the child in non-homonymous contrasts.
What is minimal pairs speech therapy?
WHAT ARE MINIMAL PAIRS? Minimal pairs
focus on contrasting differences between phonemes (i.e. speech sounds) in order to reorganise a child’s sound system
. Phonemes can differ by: Place – some sounds are made with the lips, tongue tip or the back of the tongue.
