Evidence based efficacy of linguistic approach to phonological intervention: A case report


Author(s): Kamalika Chowdhury and Sariya Abrar Sheikh

Abstract: Developmental Phonological Disorders (PD) are common among children. In spite of having number of approaches for treating phonological disorder, a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) still faces the problem of choosing one. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of linguistic approach for treating the phonological processes. A six year old female child diagnosed with PD received an individually adjusted intervention; whereby depaletaisation (dp) and velar fronting (vf) were the target processes while deaspiration (da) and cluster reduction (cr) were the control ones. While the target process was treated throughout the course of intervention, control process remained untreated. Though the child received intervention at a frequency of twice a week, but the monitoring for all the processes were done once on each week through administration of generalization probe. It was observed that over a period of twenty sessions, the target processes improved in accuracy whereas no improvement were observed for the control process, thus indicating the effectiveness of linguistic approach.
