Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen Background Some children present with more than one error-type. Separating “phonetic” from “phonemic” approaches may help us think clearly about the level at which we are working. In practice phonological therapy, articulation therapy and perceptual therapy aren’t always totally distinct. Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen

Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen “Regardless of their placement on the phonetic phonemic continuum, children with speech disorders require aspects of each in remediating their sound disorders. The focus on either the phonetic or phonemic aspects of sound production will vary depending upon the child’s learning needs. I believe that intervention that focuses on one aspect to the exclusion of the other will be limited in terms of longer intervention periods and/or in failure to generalize.” Williams, 2005 Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen

Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen Target Selection Phonetic targets are sounds that the child is unable to produce or sounds for which the child does not have true stimulability. Likely candidates are /s/ and other fricatives, the affricates, /r/, /l/, /ð/ and /θ/, including “residual errors”. Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen

Intervention Procedures Identify the standard sound. Discriminate it from its error. Vary and correct (“shape”) productions until it is produced correctly. Strengthen and stabilise it in all contexts and speaking situations. Van Riper (1978, p. 179). Copyright © 2011 Caroline Bowen
