This course focuses on two extremely important aspects of utilizing Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) with children who exhibit severe childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Cueing strategies and the timing of their use are a major factor in the efficacy of DTTC. These strategies will be demonstrated with lecture and video. There are a number of common errors that occur when first using DTTC. These are described and shown via video. Strategies to recognize and avoid these errors are discussed.

Learning Objectives
  • Organize a variety of suggested cueing techniques for each level of the hierarchy
  • Distinguish when to add and when to fade cues and why this is important to motor learning
  • Determine common errors made when beginning to use DTTC that are important to treatment efficacy and treatment efficiency

Chapters & learning objectives

Suggested Cueing Techniques Used in DTTC

1. Suggested Cueing Techniques Used in DTTC

In Chapter 1, a demonstration of cueing techniques is offered. A description of which cues are most often used at each hierarchy level is discussed. This is important to the efficacy of DTTC.

Adding and Fading Cues in DTTC

2. Adding and Fading Cues in DTTC

The rationale for adding and fading cues is discussed. Issues related to how to determine when and how to add and fade cues are emphasized, as well as how adding and fading cues vary across the hierarchy.

Common Errors in DTTC

3. Common Errors in DTTC

The final chapter of this course provides an overview of the most common errors made when beginning to use DTTC. Strategies to identify and reduce these errors are emphasized. This is important to treatment efficacy and treatment efficiency.
