There is a before and after assessment that is used to document the progress through therapy. This approach has three phases, beginning with establishment, moving to transfer, and ending with maintenance.
Paired stimuli approach: This approach advances from words to conversation while key words to teach production in various settings. It works best for children who have a few misarticulated sounds or sound distortions. It progresses from word level to sentence level and is completed when the conversation level is complete. Programmed conditioning for articulation: This approach uses typical plans for instructional phases of the program.
