Cycles for Phonology

TITLE Cycles for Phonology (6 hours) CEUs This course is offered for 0.6 ASHA CEUs (or 6 PDHs) (Intermediate Level, Professional Area) COST $199.00 for 4 week access COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS 1) Watch course videos 2) Complete course quiz 3) Complete course survey 4) Provide ASHA information for CEUs COURSE DESCRIPTION The use of a traditional articulation approach to treat phonological errors leads to slow progress and years in therapy. Cycles for Phonology focuses on patterns and efficient generalization of sounds through target selection, drastically reducing therapy time for children with phonological delays. This interactive course will lead participants through the scoring of the Hodson Assessment of Phonological Processes-3 (HAPP-3) to determine the processes in error and will be used together with the Cycles Guidelines and Organizational Chart (Moore, 2015) to design a Cycle. Target word selection, goal writing, and implementation into group therapy will be discussed. This interactive course will provide strategies to use in your therapy sessions tomorrow and implementing this program can reduce therapy time by 50% or more, even in children with severe phonological delays LEARNER OUTCOMES • Explain the difference between Cycles for Phonology and Traditional Articulation approaches. • Describe and list the primary patterns targeted in the Cycles Approach. • List and explain why secondary patterns are not typically targeted in the Cycles Approach. • Complete and score the Hodson Assessment of Phonological Processes-3 (HAPP-3). • Design a Cycle based on the primary patterns using the HAPP-3 and the Cycles Guidelines and Organizational Chart.
