A survey of interventions used by speech-language pathologists for children with speech sound disorders in the Middle East.

Purpose: While many examples of speech pathology intervention approaches for children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) exist in English and some other European languages, approaches with children in other languages are largely unknown. The aim was to determine current speech-language pathologists (SLPs) intervention practices with children with SSDs in the ME, and to then compare these with international practices.

Methods: Data were collected by online questionnaire using Qualtrics.

The application of the maximal opposition therapy approach to an Arabic-speaking child.

The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy and applicability of the maximal opposition approach to treatment of an Arabic-speaking child with a phonological disorder. A 4:2 year old Jordanian boy, born and raised in Kuwait, received phonological therapy using a maximal opposition approach with major-class distinctions, using a single-case experimental design. The child's speech production accuracy improved.
