Children with speech sound disorders present with deficits in speech sound production as well as difficulties with phonological processing and language. This session reviews the benefits and evidence of the inclusion of these elements in speech production intervention. A variety of service delivery models exist for preschoolers and school-age children with speech sound disorders, but it may be difficult to determine how much therapy is most beneficial. This session provides data regarding treatment dosage and frequency for this population. It also demonstrates application to clinical practice through three service delivery models.
