Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of using brief, intensive drill sessions in improving speech articulation in school-age children. Six children who met prerequisite criteria for inclusion in the study, including: (a) normal/corrected vision; (b) hearing abilities within normal limits; (c) ability to attend to task for approximately 15-minutes; (d) presence of a mild articulation disorder; and (e) enrolment in therapy the previous semester were included in the study. Results of the study indicated that all participants demonstrated more efficient gains in articulation of targeted speech sounds upon implementation of brief, intensive drill sessions. While the current study did indicate a positive trend and indicated that brief, intensive drill sessions are effective in achieving IEP articulation goals, further research is warranted.
