Course Title: Diversifying treatment methods to optimize outcomes for children with speech sound disorders
Course Description: Children with speech sound disorders comprise a large proportion of children who need speech therapy services. It is apparent that what works in treatment for one child may not work for another. In this course, we will discuss practical ways to differentiate treatment approaches for the unique and varied needs of children with speech sound disorders by developing different tools that may work for different children. We will also discuss literacy development in children with speech sound disorders and strategies we can use in treatment to support speech and literacy development in these children.
Learner Outcomes: 

After completing this activity, participants will be able to:

  • discuss types of underlying deficits that children with speech sound disorders may exhibit.
  • identify malleable treatment variables that can improve speech production outcomes in children with SSD.
  • describe ways to integrate literacy into treatment sessions for children with speech sound disorders.
Speaker: Katy Cabbage, PhD, CCC-SLP
Speaker Information: Dr. Katy Cabbage is a former school-based speech-language pathologist who now researches links between early speech and language skills and later literacy acquisition. She is specifically interested in identifying predictors related to difficulty acquiring literacy acquisition in children with speech sound disorders and/or language impairment. She has presented nationally on topics related to speech sound disorder interventions, particularly in school-based settings, and delights in the opportunity, whenever she can, to meet SLPs around the country.
