The Effect of Self-Directed Structure versus Adult-Directed Structure in the Learning of Articulation Skills in First and Second Grade Boys and Girls

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The comparative effectiveness of two speech correction approaches was studied in the therapeutic situation (within the program and the setting of the public school). The Van Riper adult-directed auditory stimulation method, used by many speech therapists today, was compared with a self-directed and modified Backus and Beasley approach to sound correction. The problem resolved was: Which method will be most effective in helping first and second grade children acquire adequate articulation skills?
