Extended Answer Question: Answer the following in approximately one paragraph (~3-5 sentences) that fully explains your thinking. Your notes and the textbook may be accessed during the answering of this question but our class discussions may not. Responses will be graded on the accuracy of chemistry terminology used and the completeness of the explanation, including how well ideas are connected and supported. Grammar or spelling will not influence grading. QUESTION: During our discussions we watched a video of the demo shown and described below. Several drops of water were placed on a wooden block. Then two white powdered substances were mixed together in a beaker that was placed on the wet wooden block. After vigorous stirring, the beaker stuck to the wooden block when lifted into the air. Fully explain what happened in this demonstration. (Do not worry about what the substances were, that is not necessary for the question.)

DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) and ReST (Rapid Syllable Transition) are both therapies targeted at CAS. DTTC focuses on real words, slows the model rate, and starts with frequent knowledge of performance. ReST focuses on multisyllabic nonsense words with varied stress and intonation, and uses knowledge of results on 50% of practice repetitions. Discuss when you would consider using each type of therapy, and why. In your answer, you should discuss differences in approach that affect their contribution to initial acquisition vs. generalization of learning, as well as the concept of communicative engagement and the communication pyramid.

Develop a treatment plan for this individual for the next 6 months. Are they a good candidate for behavioral therapy, compensatory strategies, education, and/or AAC? Or are they more likely to be treated pharmacologically/surgically? Why? What information would you need to make a better informed decision for this individual? How would that affect your decision process? If you think they could be a good candidate for behavioral therapy (that is, no information you currently have would counterindicate therapy), include one goal for this person, using the SMART + cueing format discussed in class. Justify your target and goal.

BONUS (up to 5 points) SIT (Speech Intelligibility Treatment–“big mouth, strong voice”) and SPEAK OUT!/LOUD Crowd are both therapies that result in increased loudness. Discuss: The principal speech disorder each treatment is targeted at (1 point); The neural mechanism driving each disorder (1 point); How each therapy uses different instructions to address the mechanism driving the speech disorder and increase intelligibility (3 points)
