Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen Background PACT is a family-centred, broad-based intervention that addresses phonemic, phonetic and perceptual aspects of SSD. 3-6 year olds; older children with cognitive challenges. Five dynamic, interacting components Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen

Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen PACT takes into account the gradualness of phonological change in typical development, and the logistics of accessing adequate SLP/SLT services. Planned blocks, and breaks. Explicitly trained parents continue aspects of intervention in the breaks. Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen

Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen Target Selection Phonetic, phonemic and perceptual targets. Traditional & newer selection criteria are used. Those marked “sometimes” may be used with children unable to cope with more complex targets. Contrasts may be minimal, maximal or multiple. Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen

Intervention Activities – Multiple Exemplar Training These activities take place during therapy sessions with the SLT, and then go home (or to preschool / school) for “homework”. Pictures on the Freebies pages. The child is helped to do the activities. Parents are often very innovative in thinking up multiple exemplar games that suit their family “style”.
