Abstract
Eighteen phonologically disordered children were assigned to one of two experimentaltreatment programmes. Half of the children received a motoric treatment,which focused on establishing sound production in isolation, words, and phrases.The remaining children received a conceptual treatment, which sought to establishthe phonemic nature of /s/ without providing motor practice. Treatment efficacywas evaluated by analysing [s] production during administration of a generalizationprobe. The motoric treatment was more effective overall; although somesubjects, whose phonetic inventory included [s] prior to treatment, generalizedcorrect production following the introduction of the conceptual treatment.
