TWO PHASES OF TREATMENT
1) Phonemes in Isolation
2) Phoneme Sequences1-, 2- and 3-syllables
How can you tell if treatment works?
Research Questions
Measures
1. Acquire (learn) PhonologyNaming pictures
2. Does what you learn in therapy generalize to something else??

3. What about at 3 months and 1 year?

• VIDEO
• Productivity (# of clauses, # verbal units, # words): – 2 of 3 more verbal output following therapy – twice the number of clauses, more verbal units, and more words when compared
with before treatment output.
• Grammar (% grammatical clauses): – 0 of 3
• Relevance (% of clauses containing new information, relevance of response to each prompt): – 2 of 3 improved
• Efficiency (self corrections, interjections, irrelevant words): – there was no change in the overall efficiency
