最近喺網上訂咗呢本書返嚟（等咗成個月，終於到咗）。其實佢唔單只係一本書，仲係一套有assessment 同 treatment 嘅approach。要提一提, 呢個approach未有report 任何scientific data，唔算係一個evidence-based treatment approach。
Moving across syllables 係為 3-10歲有執行字詞中排序動作困難(difficulty executing sequenced movements in words) 嘅兒童而設計，訓練佢地喺音節中及橫誇音節(within and across syllables) 嘅排序技巧(sequencing skills).
書入面有提及最適用嘅client係： 1. 3-10歲； 2. 有功能性語言能力(functional language skills) 但有排列聲音或音節問題 (deficits in sequencing sounds or syllables)； 3. 發音能力會隨音節長度增加而變差的小朋友 (the child who shows increased misarticulations as syllable length increases)； 4. 有以下Error patterns: syllable reduction in polysyllabic words, consistent phoneme substitution, 或omission errors in co-articulation context. 5. MLU 3.5 words 及能專注約7-10 分鐘為佳。
呢個approach 最特別就係佢好有系統咁將唔同number of syllables 嘅字分類。分類方法係根據字嘅sequenced movement。例如：「pig」 係一個bilabial-velar 嘅字；「top」係一個alveolar-bilabial 嘅字。
先進行initial test，結果會顯示小朋友嘅specific sequencing problems係喺幾多個syllable 同邊一種sequenced movement入面出現。跟住你就可以跟住個programme 去進行訓練，改善syllable number 同 sequenced movements 喇。
唔知大家大有冇用呢種方法訓練CAS 嘅小朋友呢？
