and auditory stimulation in isolation, syllables, etc. Pieretti et al., (2015) concluded that the multimodal approach, FONEMZ, pronounced like the word phonemes, tends to be more effective than traditional therapy. FONEMZ was designed to facilitate speech sound improvement in a phonological environment, however, due to the study’s ABCA design; it is not easy to conclude that FONEMZ alone resulted in success in therapy (Pieretti et al., 2015).

Element 1: Persuasion Persuasion is the key to convincing someone to do something that you want. It is important because it helps you to have people believe what you are saying so you look more credible. Even if you do not really know what you are talking about, but look confident doing it, you can persuade people to think or believe anything. For example, Ryan Gosling uses persuasion in order to convince Emma Stone to have a drink with him. He becomes very persistent with his smooth,…
