SL‐related problems graded in severity followed over time (weekly) until resolution achieved. All patients had SL with either a gallows or manual technique not rotation‐oriented (fulcrum)...

Purpose Clinicians and researchers depend in part on informal measures, those that are not standardized or norm referenced, to reliably represent young childrenâs speech sound productions. However, few investigations have explored the reliable use of such measures with children. Consequently, little is known about consistency extrapolated findings from measures. The present study aimed address this issue by testing short-term (one week) reliability used for independent analyses...
