This paper describes the development of the phonological system of
English by a child over a four-month period during which the child was
attending weekly speech therapy sessions. The factors which promoted and
facilitated progressive phonological changes are discussed. Suggestions are
made as to how the observations recorded in this case study can contribute to the development of explicitly principled decision-making in the devising
of treatment rationales.
