Three phonological process procedures were used to assess the speech of eighteen unintelligible children. Procedures developed by Hodson, Ingram, and Khan & Lewis were used to determine the percent of occurrence of five common phonological processes: Postvocalic consonant deletion, Cluster reduction, Stopping, Fronting, and Gliding. Strong, significant correlations among the procedures were obtained for all five phonological processes.
