This paper provides a comprehensive therapeutic model for the treatment of phonological disorders, using linguistic and psychological theory as a basis for intervention. The intervention strategy adopts a view of the child as learning through conflict and reflection and utilises metalinguistic awareness as a therapeutic tool. The practical application of the model is described and specific treatment examples are provided. The possible advantages of the model are discussed and appraised briefly against other phonological intervention strategies.
