This study evaluated a new therapy approach. 18 children with phonological disorders resistant to conventional therapy had phonological awareness training followed by conventional speech therapy. The children's speech production improved as did their phonological awareness. In this heterogeneous group, the patterns revealed in their individual responses to therapy proved diagnostically significant.
