title: Speech development in hearing-impaired children.
abstract: Many hearing-impaired children are unable to speak intelligibly. Research indicates, however, that patterns of errors typically found in the speech of such children could be largely avoided by systematic teaching. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss a model for the progressive development of speech skills to the levels of automaticity required for fluent spoken language.
