Contact author: Thomas W. Powell, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, L.S.U. Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, 3735 Blair Drive, Shreveport, LA 71103-4601. E-mail: tpowel{at}lsuhsc.edu.

Purpose: This article functions as an epilogue to the clinical forum examining the use of nonspeech oral motor treatments (NSOMTs) to remediate speech sound disorders in children.

Method: Conclusions to eight clinical questions are formed based on the findings that were reported in the clinical forum. Theoretical and clinical challenges are also identified.

Conclusion: NSOMTs have serious theoretical and empirical shortcomings. At present, there is insufficient evidence to support the routine clinical application of these procedures to remediate developmental speech sound disorders.

KEY WORDS: phonological disorders, ethics, treatment outcomes, evidence-based practice, oral motor treatment
