This study evaluates the effectiveness of two interventions (articulatory and phonological) for treatment of developmental phonological disorders in 14 pre-school Portuguese children with Language Impairment (LI) over 25 sessions. Results explored phonological ability pre- and post-intervention at single word and spontaneous speech level. The percentage consonant correct (PCC), the level of intelligibility of speech and percentage occurrence of several phonological processes were calculated for all children to compare the results of the two intervention groups.
