Treatment Targets for Co-Occurring Speech-Language Impairment: A Case Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The intersection of speech and language impairments is severely understudied. Despite repeatedly documented overlap and co-occurrence, treatment research for children with combined phonological and morphosyntactic deficits is limited. Especially little is known about optimal treatment targets for combined phonological-morphosyntactic intervention. We offer a clinically focused discussion of the existing literature pertaining to interventions for children with combined deficits and present a case study exploring the utility of a complex treatment target in word-final position for co-occurring speech and language impairment.

Method

Within a school setting, a kindergarten child (age 5;2) with co-occurring phonological disorder and developmental language disorder receive
