Another popular procedures used for speech therapy is the cognitive-linguistic approach.
Cycles Approach. This procedure is actually auditory bombardment. Treatment cycles having their designated phonemes are taught in a span of 2-4 weeks. The child/ patient will be bombarded with the phonemes that he needs to learn without him being aware of it.
Auditory bombarding with PACT (Parents and Children Together). In this approach, production is not the over-all emphasis. Funny, perceptually salient make-up words like ker-plunk, boing, shilly-shally or kaboom are used. The purpose is that the words containing the phonemes are being targeted.
Modified cycles approach. The therapist makes purposeful and obvious lexical errors in words containing the target phonemes so that the child/ patient will correct the clinician, thus producing the target sound. The parents, however, must be involved for explaining the goals, procedures, and assignments.
Minimal contrast therapy. In this procedure, the child/patient contrasts the presence and absence of phonemes, also establishing the difference between phonemes. This procedure is effectively used in addressing perceptual or production difficulties when it comes to final sounds of words. For example the difference between words like fee and feet is contrasted.
