The case report describes the speech characteristics of an eight-year-old normally hearing but misarticulating boy and the therapy procedures used over a two-month period. Cooperation and motivation were maintained through the use of cued speech to correct misarticulation of /s/ and /z/ sounds. (Author)

A speech therapist discusses an approach that combines articulation and language skills beginning with sounds and progressing through multisensory activities to words, phrases, sentences, controlled conversation, and free-flowing conversation. The approach uses therapy based in speech therapy's historical foundations. (CL)

Information theory is applied in the analysis and treatment of a 6-year-old child demonstrating inconsistent omissions of /z/. (KW)

Conventional (linear) amplification supplemented with frequency transposition was compared with conventional amplification alone in teaching speech to 18 severely deaf children. The former was not found to be superior to conventional amplification alone as an aid in articulation training. (Author)

Automated and traditional procedures for teaching speech sound discrimination (the /s/ phoneme) were found to be equally effective with 40 second through fourth grade speech handicapped students. (KW)

This article addresses the rationale for and issues related to the use of speech appliances, especially a removable speech appliance that positions the tongue to produce the correct /r/ phoneme. Research results suggest that this appliance was successful with a large group of clients. (Author/DB)

This paper examines studies of speech sound errors using traditional articulation and phonological process descriptions, focusing on the specific types of errors exhibited by young children who stutter. Approaches for treating children who exhibit both stuttering and disordered phonology are discussed, including issues of concurrent versus…
