There Are Many Ways to Bake a Cake: Rethinking “Motor” and “Phonological” Paths to Success
Two clinicians, two approaches — both leading to progress. This reflection explores why seemingly different speech therapy methods can yield similar outcomes, revealing how shared “ingredients” like principles of motor learning, motivation, and clinical adaptability are what truly make therapy work. Drawing on research by Maas, van der Merwe, Namasivayam, and others, Tali Kellerstein, S-LP Reg. (CASLPO), invites readers to consider whether the success of phonological therapy might actually rest on the same motor learning principles that make every good session rise.
