Treating non-stimulable speech sounds can lead to significant gains, but they are challenging to teach. This study presents a treatment program to improve phonetic inventory size by teaching stimulability, demonstrated in a case study.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-language pathology
  • Childhood speech sound disorders

Background:

  • Treatment of non-stimulable sounds is linked to maximal treatment gains.
  • Non-stimulable sounds pose teaching challenges, particularly for young children with limited phonetic inventories.

Observation:

  • Children with limited phonetic inventories often struggle with non-stimulable sounds.
  • Existing research suggests a link between stimulability and generalization in speech sound acquisition.

Findings:

  • A novel treatment program was developed to enhance phonetic inventory size by targeting stimulability.
  • The program aims to make non-stimulable sounds teachable and improve overall speech sound production.

Implications:

  • This approach may offer a viable strategy for treating children with severe phonological impairments.
