Differentiating obligatory distortions from compensatory productions, sensory feedback techniques, and effective placement strategies for correction of speech sound errors (e.g., lateral lisp and distortion of /Éš/ and /r/) are described in this course. Motor learning and motor memory principles are discussed as a framework for achieving carryover after sound acquisition has occurred.

- After this course, participants will be able to describe motor learning and motor memory principles that help achieve carryover soon after acquisition of the appropriate placement.
