COURSE DESCRIPTION  

SATPAC is a software program incorporating facilitating contexts, coarticulation and natural prosody. The program generates customized lists of nonsense words as well as phrases and sentences leading to rapid remediation due to the systematic nature of the lists.  Participants learn an efficient, systematic way to do articulation/phonology therapy with emphasis on the /r/ and /s/, the necessary prerequisite oral-motor skills, nonsense consonant-vowel combinations based upon facilitating contexts into CVCCVC contexts using coarticulation, and how to transfer developed skills into real phrases, sentences and conversation via the use of SATPAC.
