Improving Intelligibility in Apraxia and Dysarthria
Course Description
This course presents material on the process of improving intelligibility in children with severe apraxia and dysarthria and other causes of severe expressive speech disorder. Pam Marshalla discusses practical ways to facilitate intelligibility through the development of vowels, diphthongs, prosody, oral-nasal resonance, consonants, and phonological processes common in children with motor speech disorders. Lecture and small group activities will be used during this very practical presentation. Material is based on the Evidence-Based Practice philosophy.
