Abstract:
A review of software was carried out to evaluate to what extent particular titles could be used within a phonological therapy programme using a psycholinguistic approach for children aged between four and seven years. Some of the software had been developed specifically for speech and language therapists working with children's phonological impairments. Other titles were from the education market and aimed at developing children's literacy skills. This paper describes how these software programmes could be used to address phonological impairments through developing the sub-skills described within the psycholinguistic framework.
