PROOFREAD!!! Have someone else read it, too. Use active voice. Keep is simple.
Use the active voice.
Keep your language simple. Don’t use words or sentence structures in writing that you wouldn’t ordinarily use in speaking.
Bibliography should reflect all of your citations. If not cited, it should not be in the biblio.
Numerals one through nine (single digits) are spelled out
Ages are always numbers
Decades are either spelled out or in numbers; no apostrophe, e.g., 1980s, ‘80s, eighties. Apostrophes are for contractions and possessives – NOT plurals.
No footnotes
The first time you cite an article, you must list all authors; afterwards, use “et al.”
If using a direct quote, you must note the page number.
If the direct quote is more than three lines, indent and single-space.
Cite only those sources you have consulted.
Don’t capitalize “speech-language pathology”
Use “who” to refer to people and “that” to refer to things. “I would use this approach with children that are mildly delayed.”
There/their/they’re

Parallel structure: “Place the picture in front of the client and then instruct them to puff
up their cheeks.”
“An Auditory Processing Disorder occurs when one cannot process the
information they hear…”
“Once a child understands the contrasts of features, they are able to acquire new reorganized phonological systems. I found this study interesting because we always have to be aware of each individual and their needs.”
Since it was not working, the Speech-Language Pathologist tried a new approach.
Growing up as an adolescent, she experienced many difficulties.
“Though not being able to gain knowledge is a terrible thing, but in a way these victims do not realize that they cannot gain knowledge. These victims don’t even know that they are different.”
In my opinion, I personally would never do that throughout my whole entire life.
Three sounds were omitted, i.e., /s, l, r/.
There are vast arrays of different approaches a clinician can use.
Their subject sized was very small, using only ten subjects. This size is much too small to
make generalizations about the therapy.
The right approach can mean enhanced, quicker, and more efficient results for both clinician and client.
Because the client collapsed several sounds to one particular sound it was noted that the sounds represented the same error patterns.
Despite her hypothesis that PROMPT therapy has an impact on overall language gains, claims that this treatment can be successful in treating phonological disorders has been proven.
