title: Relapse observed in the treatment of phonological disorder.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  relapse in phonological performance.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  to verify relapse in the phonological performance related to sound production in the treatment of phonological disorder.
  
  
  METHODS
  three subjects with phonological disorders, aged 6:0, 7:0, 7:0 years, were treated for phoneme /r/ using the ABAB-Withdrawal and Multiple Probes Model. After a cycle of treatment, the phonemes that presented relapse in terms of production percentage were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the results indicate that relapse occurred in the phonological system of all subjects. The involved features were mainly related to the main category.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  a relationship between the features of the treated phoneme and the ones that presented relapse was observed for all of the studied cases.
