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

7. 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.

11. 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”.
