Here is the final summary paragraph of our chapter
In summary, in this chapter, we have outlined the value of a carefully developed system for describing interventions, such as the Phonological Intervention Taxonomy, which builds on the rich history of Ingram’s work in child phonology. We did this primarily by illustrating how explicit, detailed descriptions of intervention structure can facilitate comparisons that can help the clinician make clearer decisions about what intervention may meet a child’s needs. In addition, we have presented thoughts about how such a taxonomy might be applied with the goals of increasing accuracy in the use of interventions, the clinician’s understanding of their own readiness to learn and use an intervention, and the field’s development of more rationally based curricula for beginning clinicians. Finally, we suggest research efforts that may lead to a better understanding of how interventions work and for whom they might work best.The Phonological Intervention Taxonomy was originally described here:
