-ex: one person says hot, another person says cold
-Social pragmatics
-use anything that doesn’t create background noise (i.e. a squishy ball)
-working w/children- helps word retrieval skills
-Forced syntax Exercise
-Start a sentence and make child finish sentence
-ex: SPL says, “Once upon a time..” Child responds, “I went to the store”

Second Speaker- Donna Gains
-Uses a technique called Prompt when working with her clients
-works predominantly with children
-Prompt- tactile kinesthetic system; used when auditory and visual information isn’t enough
-SPL moves child’s mouth to help articulate word
-focuses on strengthening the muscles used in speech production
System Analysis observation
-makes motor/phoneme links
-how motor movement affects speech production
-makes sure child has good posture when using prompt
-there are different prompts for different muscle contractions (producing different phonemes)
-use of fingers- shows different pressure and different timing
-stages of speech hierarchy correlate to the stages of system analysis observation
