This case study describes the investigation and treatment of a child with abnormal production of /s/ and lzl, using the instrumental technique of electropalatography (EPG). Children such as the one described can be resistant to treatment using conventional approaches, with the result that the difficulties may persist for years. EPG appears to be a potentially valuable tool that provides the clinician with more detailed information on tongue/palate contact, and offers the client important visual feedback for instantaneous monitoring, which helps to establish permanent modification of tongue placement patterns.
