Example of a 10 minute session

Pre-practice is an important part of a motor-based treatment session

When teaching speech movements, it is the stage in which the clinician provides maximal instruction and support to the client. Speech Motor Chaining sessions are designed to start with pre-practice.

Pre-practice can be time-based (e.g., you may chose to end pre-practice after 10 minutes) or criterion-based (e.g., you may end pre-practice after 3 correct productions of each of your target syllables). Once pre-practice is over, your session will advance to structured Chaining.

To include pre-practice in your Speech Motor Chaining sessions, it must be set up in your Treatment Session Template:

Once you begin a session that includes Pre-Practice, you will see the list of syllables selected for the session. Each time the client produces the target syllable correctly, check it off.  Pre-preactice ends when each syllable is correctly produced 3 times, or the pre-practice timer is up, or you select "Skip Prepractice"

2.        Click on “+ Create New Treatment Session for this Client”

b.        If you make an error when selecting group members, you can uncheck them

c.        All checked session members are listed in Clients

7.        Click “Save” to store session information

Create client-specific chains for a session

2.        Using the dropdowns, select the Sound Target(s) you will focus on

3.        Using the dropdowns, select the syllables you will focus on

4.        Option: You can select “Autogenerate Remaining Chains” to fill in the rest of your chaining targets

5.        Using the dropdowns, you can select each level of chains; work in a left to right manner as the monosyllabic word you select will dictate which options are available at higher linguistic levels

6.        Review chains; if you would prefer a different target, you can use the dropdowns to further customize

7.        Select “Save Client Chains” to lock them into the session

8.        Entered information will be stored in your session until the session is executed

Note: You can use “Copy From…” to copy chains from a previous session to a new one. It will import the chains exactly as they are saved from a prior session. This is helpful if the client has not mastered these chains.
