Data Tracking: Plus and minus system will be utilized to monitor progress towards the goal.
Pizza Articulation Sorting
Pizza Articulation Sorting
Clinician will cut out a 12-inch circle from poster board to use as a “pizza.” Use a marker to draw lines dividing the pizza into slices. (How many slices will correspond to the number of trials. Gather small pictures containing targeted final consonant deletion sounds /s,z,t,d/. The clinician will explain to the child that they will decorate the pizza with picture “toppings.” Instruct the child to name a picture with emphasis on the final consonant sound. If production is correct, the child can place the topping on the pizza.
EBP Description: Children who receive implants at younger ages generally make greater and faster strides in speech production than those that receive implants later in life. In a 2007 meta-analysis, Schafer et al. studied the effectiveness of bilateral and bimodal stimulation (i.e., two cochlear implants versus one cochlear implant and one hearing aid) and recommended bimodal stimulation as the first-order treatment approach for children who can find benefits from hearing aid use in the non-implant ear.
