Phonological Disorders II

Abstract

A conceptual framework for management of phonological disorders is proposed. The framework includes a 10-element system for describing the structure of management programs and invokes a diagnostic classification system for determining appropriate management content. Data from three serial studies of management structure describe the effectiveness, efficiency, and clinician acceptance of four modes of management: Drill, Drill Play, Structure Play and Play. Review of past, present, and future content of management programs emphasizes the central role of individual differences among persons with phonological disorders.
