Question 1

Discuss both sides of the argument for targeting nonstimulable and/ or later developing sounds.

Accepted Answer

Answers will vary but should include discussion of "systemwide change" and the facilitative contexts that may result in generalization of skills to other sounds or sound classes as benefits. Possible answers against this argument are that children's motor or linguistic systems may not be ready to produce those sounds or that the sounds may develop on their own without treatment according to developmental norms.
