Dyslexia Intervention
Evidence Based Practice
1. Definition of evidence based practice.
2. Application of evidence based
practice.
• Would you provide or
recommend this
treatment to your
clients with dyslexia?
• (Or ADHD, or
dyspraxia of speech,
or Asperger’s
syndrome?)

Evidence Based Practice
Application of EBP
• Integrate your own clinical expertise, the
patient’s values and preferences, and the
best research evidence to make decisions
about the care of individual patients.

Summary
• Phonological Representations
• Sudden shifts in organization of the lexicon on the
basis of phonetic similarities among items
Animated Demonstration of
Phonological Development at
Different Levels of
Representation
• Increase in vocabulary size (neighborhood density)
• Improvements in phonetic knowledge
• Acoustic-Phonetic Representations
• Gradual increases in the specificity of acousticrepresentations
• Amount, quality, and variability of acoustic input
• Articulatory-Phonetic Representations
• Gradual increases in the precision and flexibility of
motor plans/programs
• Repeated practice achieving specific speech goals with
feedback and knowledge of results

Representation Based Approach vs Learnability
Theory
RCT Evidence: Teach complex or simpler targets first?
Additive complexity and the nonlinear approach
• Nonlinear advances in phonological organization
emerge from gradual changes in phonetic
knowledge, therefore:
• Treatment should serve to gradually increase
specificity of acoustic-phonetic representations
and precision of articulatory-phonetic
representations, therefore:
• Gradually increase complexity of treatment
targets over time

Learnability Theory Approach to
Target Selection
• The laws that unify phonological systems generally may
be used as input in treatment so as to expose a child to
the governing properties of language. This thereby
complements ontological complexity in targeting higher
order categories to induce cascading effects on
generalization learning, i.e.:
Rvachew, S. & Nowak, M. (2001).
The effect of target-selection
strategy on phonological learning.
Journal of Speech Language &
Hearing Research, 44(3), 610-623.
• Simpler input actually makes language learning more difficult
because the child is provided with only partial information about
linguistic structure.
• Treating simple targets promotes only within class learning.
• Treating complex targets is necessary to promote across class
generalization.

• Improving articulation accuracy for
phonemes that were partially correct
facilitated learning of phonemes that were
initially absent from the phonetic
repertoire, i.e.:
• Treating simpler targets first promoted both
within-class and across-class learning.

Target Selection Principles
Additive Complexity and the
Nonlinear Approach
Partager la science. Éveiller les esprits. ● sharing the science. opening minds.
• Target selection is based on a nonlinear
analysis of the child’s phonology at all levels of
the hierarchy, considering individual and
interactive elements at all levels.
• Targets are set for both word and phrasal
(prosodic) structure and features (and their
related segments) at the outset
• Strengths are used as supports for the needs,
i.e. established word structures and word
positions are used to target new features, and
vice versa.

Spectrographic Feedback
Spectrographic Feedback
Spectrogram of the clinician model
of the phrase "The writer."
From:
www.medicine.mcgill.ca/microp
The focus of treatment is the
final syllable "er". T1 marker
points to the highest value of
the third formant (F3), just
after release of the "t". The F3
falls in frequency, as
expected for "er". The drop in
frequency between the T1 and
T2 markers is 781 Hz. Notice
that the F2 is parallel to and
very close in frequency to the
F3. Both formants begin to
fall immediately after release
of the "t".
T1 = 2465 Hz
T2 = 1684 Hz

Curt, a 13 year old boy with
dyspraxia of speech, produced this
syllable with a flat F3 during the first
treatment session.
Curt gradually learned to
reduce the F3 by
progressively larger
increments. After he few
sessions, he accomplished
this 342 Hz change in F3
frequency near the end of the
syllable. Notice that the
syllable does not sound
correct, but the progress that
could be observed in the
spectrogram motivated Curt
to continue trying.
T1 = 2085 Hz
T2 = 2343 Hz

Spectrographic Feedback
Spectrographic Feedback
After approximately 6 weeks of
treatment, Curt was producing a
consistent change in F3 frequency
that corresponded to a perceptually
correct "er".
For Curt, a decline in F3
frequency of at least 800 Hz
was required for the
production of a perceptually
correct "er". However, the fall
in the F3 continued to be
delayed, resulting in an "-or"like percept. The F3 is moreor-less flat for 115 ms after
release of the "t". Subsequent
treatment focused on
reducing this time interval.
T1 = 2563 Hz
T2 = 1904 Hz

After many more weeks Curt was
producing perceptually correct ‘er’
syllables although their duration was
too long.
After Curt learned to lower his
F3 sufficiently to produce a
perceptable word final "er",
attention shifted from the
frequency characteristics to
the temporal characteristics
of F3 change. In this
production, the F3 begins to
fall 45 ms after the release of
the "t".
T1 = 2563 Hz
T2 = 1489 Hz
Future treatment will focus on
reducing the duration of this
syllable and encouraging
consistent use of word final
"er" in conversational speech.
