Visual feedback in treatment of residual phonological disorders

Abstract

The use of visual biofeedback in the treatment of individuals who have Residual Phonological Errors is discussed. This type of treatment was used with clients who had not improved through traditional auditory/production based treatments. Biofeedback is conceptualized as a cognitive treatment that requires the client's analysis of visual information. The information is used in developing correct productions of Residual Phonological Errors. The reported results indicate that visual feedback is a viable alternative treatment for those who have been unable to develop correct sound production through traditional methods.
