This Clinical Bite will focus on the Stimulability Approach developed by Adele Miccio for young children (2-4 years of age) who have a limited sound inventory and poor sound stimulability. An overview of the theoretical foundations and evidence for the approach will be provided with an emphasis on the Key Components of the Stimulability Approach. A case study will be presented to highlight the clinical decision-making in selecting this approach for the appropriate clients.
Learning objectives
Upon successful completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
-
identify the key components underlying the Stimulability approach
-
recognise the clients for whom the Stimulability approach would be appropriate
