Which is an example of the phonological process of fronting?

One common phonological process that occurs is called fronting. Fronting refers to when a child produces a front sound such as “t” and “d” in place of a back sound such as /k/ and /g/. For example, a child may say “tootie” instead of “cookie”, “tar” instead of “car”, or “doat” instead of “goat”.

How do you target phonological processes?

8 Traditional Target Selection Criteria

1. Work in developmental sequence.
2. Prioritise targets that are ‘important’
3. Choose targets that are stimulable.
4. Use words that can be minimally contrasted.
5. Choose unfamiliar words as therapy stimuli.
6. Target sounds the child sometimes says correctly.

How do you prevent fronting?

To prevent fronting, reduce the injection volume, increase the split ratio, or inject a less concentrated sample.

Is fronting a typical phonological process?

Fronting is a very common phonological process. What is fronting: Fronting occurs when children substitute sounds made in the back of the mouth with those produced in the front of the mouth (e.g., saying “tan” for “can” or “dot” for “got”). There are two main types of fronting: velar fronting and palatal fronting.

What are the types of phonological processes?

Are Phonological Processes Normal?

• Cluster Reduction (pot for spot)
• Reduplication (wawa for water)
• Weak Syllable Deletion (nana for banana)
• Final Consonant Deletion (ca for cat)
• Velar Fronting (/t/ for /k/ and /d/ for /g/)
• Stopping (replacing long sounds like /s/ with short sounds like /t/)

When should fronting stop?

Fronting is the substitution of a sound produced in the back of the mouth with a sound produced in the front of the mouth (e.g. “tey” for “key”). This pattern resolves by 3.5 years of age.

How do you administer cycle method?

Cycles sessions usually take an hour and consist of 7 steps:

1. Review words from the last session.
2. Auditory bombardment (1-2 minutes).
3. Introduction of target words for the session (usually 5-6 words).
4. Play games requiring the child to practice the target words.
5. Probe for next session targets.
6. Repeat auditory bombardment.

How is phonological process backing treated?

If your child is backing his or her sounds, we recommend speech therapy regardless of their age as this pattern is typically seen in children that require speech and language intervention to resolve a significant phonological delay.

How do I help my child with fronting?

*Have your child sit directly in front of you. Model the sound for your child with your mouth as open as possible. While you say the sound, touch your upper throat and explain to your child that this is where the sound is being made. Then, have your child touch his/her throat to feel where the sound comes from.
