Front 1

ideal candidates for minimal oppositions

Back 1

- primarily display phonemic substitutions
- do not display a large number of distortions and assimilations
- are stimulable for the target sound

Front 2

target selection for minimal oppositions/

Back 2

- based on substitutions – one sound in inventory, one sound not
- contain fewest number of place-manner-voice differences possible
- chronological age and developmental level of phonemic system should be evaluated
- sounds which most impact intelligibility are given priority
- stimulable sounds have priority over non-stimulable

Front 3

therapy for minimal oppositions

Back 3

- discussion of words to familiarize concepts with client
- discrimination testing and training to rule out poor - auditory discrimination or memory skills (criterion level: seven consecutive correct responses)
- child is trained to produce target sound at word level
- carryover is trained at phrase and sentence level

Front 4

ideal candidates for maximal oppositions

Back 4

moderate to severe phonological disorder (missing 6+ phonemes)

Front 5

target selection for maximal oppositions

Back 5

- two sounds not in inventory
- contain as many place-manner-voice differences as possible

Front 6

therapy phases for maximal oppositions

Back 6

- imitation:
-- minimal pair cards are presented and words are modeled and repeated
-- phase continues until 75% accuracy over two to seven consecutive sessions
- spontaneous:
-- word pairs are produced without model
-- continues until 90% accuracy over three to twelve sessions

Front 7

complexity approach

Back 7

-- word pairs are produced without model
-- continues until 90% accuracy over three to twelve sessions

Front 8

ideal candidates for multiple oppositions

Back 8

- moderate to profoundly disordered speech
- exclusion of 6+ sounds across three manner categories

Front 9

target selection for multiple oppositions

Back 9

maximal distinctions/classifications ideal

Front 10

therapy for multiple oppositions

Back 10

- imitative phase until 70% accuracy is obtained across two consecutive sessions
- spontaneous phase until 90% across two consecutive sessions
- spontaneous contrasts and generalization with 90% accuracy in untrained words
- conversation-based phase with naturalistic intervention procedures
