Research Highlights

• significant decrease in regression and more “time-on-task” (E.Ram, McCann, Vander Tol, and White 2010)

• less time spent in therapy (Sexton, 2006)

• increase in timely progress (Kuhn, 2006)

• improved recall and retention (Willingham, 2002)

• better performance; overall more progress and spent significantly less time out of the classroom (Clark, 2012)

• greater improvement; more efficient gains in articulation of targeted speech sounds upon implementation of brief, intensive drill sessions (Smith, 2011)

7

Kuhn 2006

13 students participated in program for 1 year

– 2 students met their goal in 8 weeks

– 7 students met their goal in 16 weeks

– 4 students did not meet their goal

Those that failed to meet their goal after 16 weeks

rarely returned homework signed

2 students who met their goal in 8 weeks had their

homework signed most often

8

Sexton 2006

Action research in a Michigan District found reduced time for articularion therapy :

Drill Bursts - 7 Hours / Year

VS

Traditional - 63 Hours / Year

FOR SAME BENEFIT

Students were discharged after:

9.6 months of Individual Articulation Drill Burst

VS

19 months of traditional therapy9

McCann, VanderTol, & Witte 2006

71 students received small group, 30 minute session

• 44 of the 71 completed articulation therapy in 1 school

year or less (61%)

• Spent an average of 32 hours in therapy during the

school year

38 students participated in accelerated drill based therapy

(3, 10-minute sessions per week)

• 26 students completed articulation therapy in 1 school

year or less (68%)

• Total hours of time spent in therapy was cut in half -

16 hours10

All the Research is Positive

Currently, there is no research that refutes

the efficacy of this model.

11

Repetition

Repetition - when something shows up again and again.

Common mistake is thinking repetition is not big deal.

12

SLP’s + Repetition = Therapy

• One major point is the great number of repetitions

required by this method

• Providing learners with as many trials and

opportunities of the same/correct target practice

• Research says students will learn faster/more

efficiently

• The immediate feedback is reassuring and

encouraging, and is a key point that creates self-

motivation!

13

Repetition and Automaticity

• After the 100+ repetitions, the student begins to develop an oropharyngeal sensory-motor sequencing memory (Calvin, 1994) coupled with an auditory memory of the respective acoustical results of speech.

14

• For successful performance of skilled precision motor

activity there is need for a great many repetitions in order to obtain automaticity and flexibility.

How many times do others

practice to make perfect?

15

Consider how many times a professional athlete or

musician practices even his/her basic movements.

Expert performance requires deliberate and consistent practice.

Save time Through Persistence

Remember: Repeat it if you want to retrieve it!

16

Who Needs the Persistence?

Persistence is required on the part of the therapist or teacher.

Students need more speaking opportunities.

17

Strategy - More STT

• Typical Teacher Talking Time (TTT) varies between 70

and 90 percent of the lesson time

• Children given the opportunity for more Student Talking

Time (STT) improve faster.

• Extensive chorus repetition practice will resolve that

paradox by dramatically increasing STT and marginally

decreasing TTT.

Backdoor Therapy

• If it is an articulation lesson, substantial vocabulary and

grammar will gradually sneak in for FREE!

• A language lesson will have sheer statistical mass effect

as items will be memorized as ‘chunks’ or mental

representations of whole phrases as useful for future performance.

19

Choral Speaking as a Strategy

Choral Speaking lets students hear themselves both individually and/or in chorus a great many times.

This repeated exposures builds auditory and motor memory images of the intended target sound or skill.

These audio-motor mental representations eventually help guide a student’s pronunciation and/or language.

This is a crucial point for the method presented here! It’s magically simple, the student is guided under the auditory pressure from

the chorus to correct pronunciation and linguistic learning.

20

Choral Speaking for RTI

When Choral Speaking is used for RTI the SLP or Teacher:

• Allows for at least 50 to 100 student repetitions of a phrase (for RTI language cases) at a given session to generate a kind of ‘feel’ for the phonological, syntactical, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of the phrase(i.e. to really ‘learn’ it.)

• Presents multiple repetitions

• Gives direct examples of how student should respond

21

Research Makes

Speedy Speech™Ideal for RTI

22

Review of RTI

• Response to Intervention (RTI) is the first line of defense

to help struggling and at-risk students.

• Definition

A process that provides services to struggling learners

at increasing levels of intensity.

The purpose is to provide direct and indirect

intervention services designed to prevent placement in

special education.

23

RTI for SLPs

The RTI model - also called multi-tiered system of

support - is a great tool to help SLPs:

• analyze student growth with data

• validate the effectiveness of therapy

• assist in determining deficit areas faster

• help set individual goals

• show daily progress

• track progress over time

More Opportunities for SLPs

Teachers and school personnel can ‘see’ what SLPs do

• Within the Common Core State Standards of language

• Show them SLPs “bring it”

Phonology, language and literacy, syntax, morphology

RTI provides greater visibility for SLP’s

• Chance to educate others about communication disorders and what SLPS do

• How communication “links up” with literacy

25

SLPs Succeed in Short Term Rx

• work with students to see if they respond to instruction

• determine if special education services are necessary

• SLPs can succeed using short-term,

intense treatment for some

artic errors and other

communication issues via

Response to Intervention

programs. (Dixon)

Auditory Bombardment

• List of words

• Organized in initial, medial, final, blends

• Grouped in one and two syllable

• Purpose of Drill:

– Auditory Bombardment (or Focused Auditory Stimulation) is an essential building block for both articulation and language development.

– The more a student hears and focuses on the correct production of the target sound or words

– the easier it will become for him to discriminate, self-correct, and ultimately achieve accurate productions.

43

Auditory Discrimination

Research shows the more a student hears and focuses on the target stimulus, the easier it will be to master.

• Grouped

• Minimal Pair Sets

• Two sound

• Mixed pairs

44

Sound Bridge

• Speedy Speech™ has books for the /S/, /R/, /L/ and /G/

for articulation cases

• Targeted sound shaping and development

• CV, VC, CVC, VCV

45

360 Words, Phrases, Sentences

Stimulus/drill section is organized into near minimal triplet

sets, and includes phrases and sentences for each word.

46

Drill Pages

• colored drill pages are organized based on sound

similarities in order to integrate phonemic consistency

• drills are divided into separate sections (initial, final, and

medial sound positions)

• organized by one syllable and two syllable words

• phrases and sentences promote co-articulation practice.

47

Data Tracking Form for Articulation

Making data collection simple and efficient

– collect data on the first 10 productions

– At least 90% accuracy over 3 consecutive sessions

should be achieved before moving to the next level.

Tracking Progress

• Document during each session

• Therapy log form automatically guides the daily therapy plan

• Documenting the first 10 productions at the beginning of the session

– Provides the most accurate representation of the child’s articulation carryover ability

– All of your data is calculated for writing progress reports/ progress monitoring

Writing / Revising an IEP

For newly identified and enrolled student

1. Given auditory stimulation, student will demonstrate increased auditory discrimination skills by correctly discriminating between an incorrect and correct production of the target with 90% accuracy on 3 consecutive observations.

2. Given visual stimulation, student will demonstrate increased articulation skills by producing the target sound in CV combinations with 90% accuracy on 3 consecutive observations.

3. Given visual stimulation, student will demonstrate increased articulation skills by producing the target sound at the initial sound of single, one-syllable words, with 90% accuracy on 3 consecutive observations.

55

Writing / Revising an IEP

For newly identified and enrolled student - CONTINUED

4. Given visual stimulation, student will demonstrate increased articulation skills by producing the target sound at the initial sound of single, two-syllable words, with 90% accuracy on 3 consecutive observations.

Etc…

• Write a step in the rubric for each stage of the Speedy Speech™ hierarchy

• Select your student’s entry level and set the goal for whichever stage you think he/she will be able to achieve in the time frame you have.

56

Scheduling

• The Speedy Speech™ authors recommend a gradual change

to your program

• Start with the oldest kids on your caseload and moving

younger ones in as each older one is dismissed

• If you work in a K-4 school, start with your fourth graders and

move an eligible third grader in to each slot that a fourth

grader leaves open

• 2-3 year transition

57

Scheduling

Things to remember:

• Kids will NOT come to your speech room/office

• You will work with them outside of the classroom door or an area of the hallway

• You will work with each student for 5 minutes

Things that have worked for me:

• Create a travel tote with a collapsable stool to sit on

• Ask your principal to set up a desk and chair in an area of the hallway

• Set yourself up to be close to more than one room if possible

58

Scheduling

• Create a block in your daily schedule that is for Speedy Speech™ kids

• Schedule students by grade level and classroom, not by

sound

• This way you can pull all the students from each

classroom during the same time block, or from

classrooms that adjoin each other

• The routine will become familiar for the kids; when

one returns to class the next student comes out into

the hall

59

Scheduling

• In a 30 minute block you can see 5 students, individually,

for 5 to 6 minutes.

• What can my student REALLY get out of 5 minutes?

• Consider this…In 5 minutes a student can:

– Name 117 Pictures

– Repeat 157 words

– Repeat 125 phrases

– Create 35 sentences

60

10/4/2015

11

Get Creative with Scheduling!

• If you are only in one building 2 days a week, pull the student

2 times for 5 minutes on the days you are there

• Start to pull students at the very beginning of the day before

instruction begins

• If you aren’t able to see a student that particular day/ time,

tack on an additional minute to the other sessions.

• Only see a student in 30 minute sessions? Do a Speedy Speech™ lesson for the first 5-10 minutes of the session and

then work on other skills for the remainder of the time.

61

Organizing Your Caseload

• Binder by grade level or classroom

• One binder for each grade/class or one binder for all students regardless of target sound

• Each student tab has several copies of the data collection page

• Create a notebook for each student with a copy of the parent letter and the homework calendar for the month.

• Cart? Stool? Desk? Chair?

65

So by now you have…

• Revised/ Completed your IEP

– Speedy Speech™ minutes

– Speedy Speech™ Goals

– narrative

– notes that include use of “intensive articulation therapy” or

“burst therapy approach”

• Written your goals to reflect the Speedy Speech™ service

delivery model AND educated parents/caregivers

• Created Your Schedule

• Organized your materials 66

12

Let’s Do This!

67

Where do I start with each student?

• Use your professional judgment to determine the therapeutic entry

stage for each student

• Refer to the Speedy Speech™ Stages

• If a child has just been identified you will most likely start at Stage 1

• If you have been working with a student prior to initiating Speedy

Speech™, you will start with whatever level at which you have

achieved 90% mastery

– Example: You have been working with a child on /g/ and they have

mastered the production in all positons of the word level,

independently at 90% accuracy, what level would you start on?

68

Where do I start with each student?

• Each child may have a different therapeutic entry point.

• Use your therapeutic expertise to decide what’s best.

• It’s ok to go backwards if you started too far ahead.

• Do an assessment if you are not sure what level the student is on.

69

Your First Session

Remember: You will begin at the level where your student is 90% accurate.

1.) Auditory Bombardment (30 sec)

2.) Auditory Discrimination (30 sec)

This could be longer if your student is beginning at this level…it could be your

whole session…that’s OK!

3.) Sound Shaping Review (30 sec )

Here is where your “therapy mechanics” are the same as prior to initiating SS

4.) Drills (3 minutes)

Work at whatever level your student is performing on

5.) Brief reminder/explanation of Homework (30 sec)

6.) Motivational Charts (if necessary) and Record Keeping (1 minute)70

Auditory Bombardment

• Begin each session by simply instructing your student to

LISTEN as you say a set of words containing the target

sound.

• Spend about 30 seconds on this segment of your Speedy

Speech™ session.

• Instruct your student to pay close attention to how you

move your mouth and produce each sound.

71

Auditory Discrimination

• Minimal Pair Sets

• Incorporate short Minimal Pair segment into your session

• Thumbs up/ thumbs down

• First word/ last word

• What sound did you hear?

• Cover your mouth so student cannot ‘see’ the production

• Assesses if the student can hear the difference between the correct and incorrect production.

72

10/4/2015

13

Sound Shapping Review (30 Secs)

Here is where your therapy begins to take on your style and clinical skills:

• Use of strategies you have used in the past in order to teach “HOW” to make the sound

– VERBAL EXPLANATION OF HOW TO MAKE THE SOUND

– VISUAL FEEDBACK- MIRROR

– TACTILE/ORAL SENSORY AWARENESS

– IPAD APP FOR PLACEMENT OF THE ARTICULATORS

73

Sound Shapping - Continued

Each sound manual lists ways to elicit target sound

• EXAMPLES from /r/ manual

• Moving tongue front to back

• Moving from an /l/ to /r/

• Moving from /g/ to /r/

• Moving from /i/ to /r/

• Move from /n/ to /r/ and back

• Forced Production

Do you have another idea to help with the /r/ sound?

74

Practice Drills

• During this time you will conduct therapy as you normally would

– verbal correction

– praise

– cueing as needed

• Don’t be afraid to move back in the process if the student is not achieving success with the current stage.

• Although a 90% accuracy level is recommended for moving forward, this is flexible and should reflect subjective decision making as well as clinical judgment.

75

That was great!

Now for the next session…

• The only difference between your initial session and successive

sessions will be that at the beginning of each subsequent

session you will review your child’s homework with them.

AND / OR

• Your session objective may change, depending on the child’s

progress.

– i.e. If the child has mastered initial position of words in

phrases at 90% on the 3rd session, move to next level at the

next session

76

Your Therapy Routine After

the Initial Session

• Repetition and drill work are the key to success!

• Utilize rapid successive trials (3) to determine co-articulation

with the target sound.

• The early therapy stages take the largest amount of time in the

total therapy process

• Later goals at the sentence and carryover levels will take less

time when the initial stages are completely intact and have been

thoroughly achieved.

77

Homework

• Practice at home and in the classroom is an integral and

necessary component of the Speedy Speech™ program

– Establish a regular homework review and

distribution routine

– Use the speech notebook for ongoing communication

with parents

– Notebook should come back and forth between home

and school daily

Sample Homework Calendar

79

Motivation

• Most students are automatically motivated by the program

• Use movement/kinesthetic feedback (clap, tap, sway, to

each sound production) for kids who have difficulty sitting

still

• Judge the motivational needs of your students, and

incorporate charts and stickers only when necessary.

• The goal is to eliminate as much non-productive

interaction as possible80

Teacher Collaboration

• The Speedy Speech™ model allows you to be

seen in the building

• Teachers see you and hear you working with

students

• Your close proximity and frequent classroom visits

make you a familiar face in their classrooms

• The model creates a natural environment for

collaboration/consultation

You aren’t just the GAME LADY (or MAN) 81

Sample Lessons
