Overwhelmingly, peer-reviewed studies have continued to demonstrate that treating complex sounds leads to greater gains in overall intelligibility for children with phonological disorders. In addition, music shows a positive effect on phonological awareness and sound development in young children. Studies indicate that there exists a shared sound category learning mechanism for phonology and music. In this course, participants will be presented with evidence-based approaches to assess and implement complex approaches while learning the impact of music and acquiring music-infused intervention activities to facilitate improved intelligibility and meaningful outcomes for students with phonological disorders.
