Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to determine if a music-based treatment approach is effective in treating children with speech-sound disorders. This investigation utilized a music-based approach to increase motivation and enjoyment of the therapeutic process while decreasing gthe explicit teaching that typically occurs in speech sound disorder intervention. Method: A multiple baseline across participants design was replicated across three participants ranging in age from 6;7 to 7;6 that demonstrated a level of phonological impairment within the moderate or severe range. The participants received seven to 11 treatment sessions targeting a phonological error pattern. The investigation used a three-phase music-based approach for the independent variable. The dependent variable was the percentage of consonants correct (PCC).
