A 20-year-old man was originally referred for speech, swallowing, and lingual range of motion tasks; but that wasn’t all. His voice quality had severely impacted him for 20 years. Interestingly, his restrictive lingual frenum had been a critical factor of his pitch vocal issues. Before and after audios of the man, and therapy strategies included.
Guest: Pat Mervine, MA, CCC-SLP - In this presentation, the presenter shared her knowledge and expertise on creating a positive atmosphere to enrich communication for students with complex communication needs. She explains how to engineer the environment by raising expectations with your attitude, actions, and teaching strategies so students of all ages have ample opportunities to communicate throughout the day with a variety of communication partners, using speech or their AAC system. She explicitly details the importance and process of using the Prompt Hierarchy, The Expectant Pause, and Scripting to provide and personalize communication needs.
