Description
Eliciting Sounds: Techniques and Strategies for Clinicians, 2nd edition
Wayne A. Secord, working with a team of practitioners, wrote Eliciting Sounds 2nd edition, a spiral-bound clinical manual for speech-language pathologists and students treating articulation and phonological disorders. It moves from diagnostic assessment into the hands-on work of teaching a client to produce a specific sound.
The second edition goes phoneme by phoneme through English consonants, vowels and diphthongs, giving step-by-step instructions for eliciting each one using methods including phonetic placement, motokinesthetic cues and sound approximation.
Multiple techniques for every sound
For each sound the book offers more than one route in, including auditory stimulation, phonetic placement and shaping, so a clinician can switch approach when a client’s learning style calls for it. Clear diagrams show the exact placement of the tongue, lips and jaw needed to produce each sound.
Troubleshooting a session that has stalled
A section is devoted to what to do when a client gets stuck on a sound or keeps substituting one sound for another, with practical strategies clinicians can use mid-session rather than after the fact.
