The goal of this paper is to illustrate the selection of target sounds for treatment based on
phonological complexity. Complexity based on developmental and linguistic factors is …

The construct of complexity has been advanced recently as a potentially contributing
variable in the efficacy of treatment for children with functional phonological disorders. Thus …

Purpose To examine treatment outcomes in relation to the complexity of treatment goals for
children with speech sound disorders. Method The clinical implications of dynamic systems …

Recent treatment efficacy research has shown that a clinician's choice of treatment targets is
an important factor affecting sound generalization by children with phonological …

In Gierut's article, complexity was addressed most directly, with an evaluation of its role in
the selection of the number and type of treatment targets for remediation. Specifically, Gierut …

This paper describes a matrix for clinical use in the selection of phonological treatment
targets to induce generalization, and in the identification of probe sounds to monitor during …

Children with functional phonological disorders warrant clinical treatment to accelerate their
acquisition of the sound system. In this paper, I focus on the linguistic factors that converge …

Purpose There are a number of evidence-based treatments for preschool children with
phonological disorders (Baker & McLeod, 2011). However, a recent survey by Brumbaugh …

Purpose To extend formal models of language learnability to applications in clinical
treatment of children with functional phonological delays. Method The focus of the narrative …

This paper provides a tutorial on the selection of complex target sounds for treatment
following from known principles of language learnability. The focus is on syllable structure in …
