The distinction of characteristic features is realized at the level of isolated sound and word level. Explicit knowledge was used for homophony, communication failure, and conversational repair during therapy. After the therapy, two children of pre-school age with the phonological disorder had better speech intelligibility and reduced target phonological processes....
