Metaphon
Principles, how it came about
-
-
Based on precise, detailed ling Ax
Focus on bringing phon change by increasing metaling awareness: comm. awareness, feedback on getting change, child to consider how sounds differ
-
Max learning opportunities: make child aware of contrastive nature of sounds, awareness that meaning changes with diff sounds. Sounds can be changed to enhance the meaning of being unds. Child begins to unds that they have some control over their speech production
Builds phonemic inventory, targetting, eliminating phon processes, same as other 4 therapies
Give the child knowledge to change it, let them know that they X be unds if they stick to it. Knowledge that change can be made. Info about how change can be achieved
In sum: knowing what error they made, know what they have to say, knowing to get from wrong to right
Phase 2
Dev. communicative awareness, unds that words carry diff meaning and meaning can differ
-
Aims
-
-
-
Providing child w feedback about utterance can result in immediate change. Listener uncertainty/confusion (looks, intonation with pitch rise in qn) increases motivation to change. SLP can purposely make error to raise child's awareness of incorrect production
Word level
-
-
One of each card chosen. Child and SLP take turns naming cards. Need to point to picture they heard. Check if it is a match
Feeback
Focuses on result of communication: Successful bcos child has used appropriate sound "I knew it was sea, I heard a long sound". If child correctly matches production, ask how they knew which picture to point to. "I heard a great tail sound there"
If child points to another picture, "I heard a short sound, did you mean to say a long sound?" "Were you trying to put a tail on the end?"
Games
Fishing, hide and seek. Impt that the games do not need to mirror concept being used, just as reward activity.
-
End Tx for a processs when 1) child able to maintain contrast b/w words at sentence lvl, 2) does not need to have generalised sounds to external env 3) must be able to make changes to productions if reminded of concept
Phase 1
Dev phon awareness, awareness of contrastive sounds
Aims
-
Show that contrast can convey meaning, can be manipulated
Provide success for child, FUN!
