Using a Single-Subject Experimental Design to Implement a Nonlinear Phonology Approach to Target Selection

The purpose of this study was to determine whether nonlinear phonology could be applied to assessment and treatment in a public school setting. It was hypothesized that the nonlinear phonology approach to target selection would result in more rapid improvement in specific treatment targets, more generalization to other structures or segments, and greater improvement in overall speech intelligibility than had occurred with previous treatment.
