Abstract
Generalization is an important outcome of treatment for phonological disorders. However, generalization often fails to occur. When it does not occur spontaneously, modifications must be made in the treatment program. In this article, a framework is provided for types of generalization that are potential results of treatment. The framework includes stimulus generalization (across materials, activities, people, settings) and response generalization (across word position, phonetic context, sounds, linguistic level). Within this framewor described which can increase the potential for generalization to occur. Guidelines are also given for measurement of generalization.
