4. The conventional minimal pair model of treatment is pairing a sound that is produced in error by a child with its corresponding substitute, which has been reported clinically effective (Barlow and Gierut, 2002).

5. Minimal Pairs Academy targets the 23 most common phonological processes on two activities: auditory discrimination & production.

6. Production: Children are presented with the target image; speech therapists have the option to display the pair in case children have difficulty producing the target word.

7. Children with several sound errors may not necessarily have problems producing their error sounds correctly; but they may have problems using the sounds contrastively as phonemes, which leads to the production of homophones.

8. Auditory discrimination: Children must discriminate between sounds when selecting the target word.

9. Phrase completion: Children are presented with a phrase, which they must choose a target image to complete the phrase.

10. "A minimal pair is a set of words that differ by a single phoneme, whereby that difference is enough to signal a change in meaning." Gierut,2002.

11. Phonological processes are the patterns that children use to simplify adult speech.
