Speech Therapy:
When your child has trouble reading and spelling, speech therapy does not seem like a logical solution. Many people believe that speech therapists deal with only people who have trouble making certain sounds (articulation) or who have stutters or lips.
Speech therapists treat these speech disabilities. But children with other forms of spoken and written language disorders such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and auditory processing disorder are also helped.
How Speech Therapy works
SLPs find to see what kind of language difficulty an individual is having. They decide what is responsible for this and decide on the best treatment. SLPs may encourage children to acquire skills through personal experiences, in small groups, or in classrooms.
SLPS May assist with
Articulation problems: who do not speak plainly and make sound errors.
Fluency problems: speech flow issues, including stuttering.
Resonance or expression issues: tone quality issues, pace, troubles, and consistency.
Problems with oral feeding: Trouble chewing, swallowing, and drooling.
Also, cycles approach speech therapy is also used for children with phonological problems.
SLP’s May help to handle
Receptive problems: language issues (receiving).
Expressive problems: language trouble telling.
Pragmatic problems: ambiguity with socially appropriate language.
How long does speaking therapy require?
The period a person needs speech therapy based on a range of variables, including:
- Age
- Form and severity of speech disability
- Pace of therapy
- Mental issue underlying
- Diagnosis of a medical condition
Some speech disorders begin and improve with childhood while others continue and need long-term care and support.
As through medication, and as the situation improves, stroke or any other medical problem may increase productivity.
What do you know about the Cycles Approach?
Therapists deal with phonological techniques in loop technology that are patterns of error in the speech of children in the Cycles approach speech therapy. For instance, certain youngsters eliminate completely consonant. This is called the “final deletion of consonants” and is a basic sequence of language faults. This is regarded as a phonology form.
The cycle method is aimed at children who use several different phonological processes and then rotate through different phonological processes for a limited amount of time (error patterns).
Therapy can target the final termination of the consonant for 6 weeks, and then turn to target friction for another 6 weeks. After all, phonological mechanisms are controlled and the original process is attacked again the cycles start again.
Therapy is pursued at any point Before the child’s expression language is withdrawn.” Cycles Phonological Remediation Approach” is the official name of the software.
Who developed it?
Barbara Hodson and her colleagues developed cycles approach speech therapy and it is focused on the concepts of developmental phonology, cognitive psychology, and phonological acquisition studies.
Who is it for?
For children with highly unintelligible speech, the Cycles Method was developed. But for kids with a wide variety of speech sounds and other communication difficulties, it has been used.

When to practice the Cycles Phonological Remediation Approach :
- The technique is adapted to the following guidelines for children:
- Rather nonsensical (very difficult to understand)
- Often miss sounds out or forgets to answer
- Substitute several sounds with many other sounds
- Do not use several different consonant tones
How to select which specified procedures for cycles approach speech therapy?
Check the list (patterns) for the challenges facing the child. Establish and promote a list of priorities that your child does not adequately use in conversation.
Does the kid identify syllables with 2 and 3 syllable words (you can hear how several syllables the word seems to have the same stress in each syllable? At the start of the CV method, the child will be using the preceding N, b, t, d, and w/?
Can the kid will use consonant sounds /p, t/ and/or /k, m, n/ at the end of the VC constructions? Does a child’s voice contain both CVC and VCV words?
Oh, /t, d, n, l/ Are they velar?
liquids available? /l, r/, r/, r/r
Are the nasal ones there? /m, n/n/m, n/m n/m, n/m
Are glides present? “The /w/, “y/y/
For cycles approach speech therapy you would already include a checklist of all the (listed above) actions that the kid may not perform in conversation, yet for whom it is stimulative. Prioritize them by starting with the things that the kid can do the best easily. Choose the top six targets for now but, forget the rest.
How to customize your cycles?
Take the first pattern of your list and select from that pattern a phoneme (sound). Work on the first tone for 60 minutes (two 30-minute sessions, four 15-minute sessions, or however your schedule works). Then select another phoneme from this pattern and concentrate on it for an additional 60 minutes. Then move on to the following pattern. Let’s give you an instance:
Patterns of the list include:
CVC
Velar sounds
Ultimate clustered /s/
Session Number and goals:
1. in 1-2 Sessions: CVC words ending in the nose
2. in 3-4 sessions: CVC words ending in voiceless stops
3. in 5-6 Session the goal is to produce: /k/ sound
4. in 7-8 sessions: /g/ sound
5. in 9-10 Sessions: Clustered Ultimate /st/
6. in 11-12 sessions: Last or final clustered /sk/
The objective of cycles approach speech therapy:
The solution to cycles is aimed at representing phonetics in young kids in more detail, where many pathways are established over time by first understanding the simplest words.
The scientists believe this approach for extremely unintelligible children, improves intelligibility more rapidly than other methods.
What happens in the sessions?
Sessions in cycles usually take an hour and consist of 7 steps:
- Word feedback
- Bombing the Perceptual
- Goal terms
- Play games where a child wants the goal words to practice.
- Sample targets
- Auditory bombardment
- Tasks – normally two minutes per day, with a set of the target language to practice each and every day of the week.
