Generalization: How to Make it Happen for Kids with Residual Articulation Errors

Helping children generalize their newly learned speech skills into spontaneous speech can be one of the most challenging aspects of intervention for speech sound disorders. This is especially true for children who are remediating stubborn residual articulation errors, such as “r” distortions or lateral lisps. This course will describe how SLPs may incorporate motor learning principles into their therapy sessions to encourage generalization. Specific principles will be outlined, explained, and demonstrated with real-life therapy videos showing practical therapy tips that participants can utilize straight away.
