Abstract
Preschool children with both phonological and language impairment received either phonological intervention involving a 'cycles' approach or language intervention involving a 'script' approach. Pre- and post treatment measures of linguistic and phonological performance were compared to determine which domains exhibited the greatest improve ment. There were no significant differences for either intervention group; however, the language intervention group improved slightly in language and regressed in phonology, while the phonological interven tion group improved in both language and phonology. It is suggested that the observed interactions among linguistic domains during treat ment were influenced by both the type of treatment and different synergistic relationships between the subject groups' language and phonological disorders.Keywords
