II. Treatment
Item 5: Treatment Plan
1.Treatment goal for this patient
Will produce words with precise articulatory agility during communication activities of daily
living.
2. Specific articulation treatment objective
2|Page
a.
Will produce target words using contrastive stress during oral sentence reading with
75% accuracy (e.g., I am going to run.)
b. Will produce target words with articulatory agility during oral sentence reading with
60% accuracy (e.g., I am going to run.)

6. Define specific type of practice for the task and provide rationale for your
design
Massed & Modified - Blocked
Massed practice was selected for the patient to maximize his motor performance (e.g.,

accuracy of movement within a training session) of /r/ and /v/ in the initial position of words
in sentences. Distributed practice typically results in slower learning, so until the
articulatory targets are consistently trained, massed practice would be more beneficial for
the client.
Modified - blocked practice was selected to facilitate the acquisition of accurate movement
without sacrificing motor learning. For example, the patient will practice initial /r/ stimulus
items 15 times (i.e., 3x/5 words) before moving on to initial /v/ stimulus items for 15 trials
(i.e., 3x/5 words). At this point in his treatment, random practice would not allow the
patient enough time to accurately produce target words.
7. Define type of feedback and the rationale for that type of feedback
Because the immediate goal is articulatory accuracy and stress of the target words,
providing feedback after every production would decrease the number of total trials within
a session. Therefore, the clinician will provide performance feedback after each set of 3
questions. If the patient is inaccurate within a set, then performance feedback would be
given immediately following the error to increase the patients articulatory accuracy and
awareness.
8. Define scoring metric and the rationale for scoring
Binary scoring was selected for this treatment approach. The patient will receive 1 point
for accurate production of the target sound (e.g., run) and 1 point for contrastive stress of
the target word (e.g., run) within a sentence. Binary scoring will allow the clinician to
easily determine when articulatory targets have been met and when contrastive stress has
been used appropriately. This will inform the clinician when to alter the treatment plan.
