Short description

Contrast approach is a cognitive-linguistic approach to articulation and phonology that the SLP incorporates word pairs with phonemic differences in the target sounds. It is used to teach the idea that a contrast in sound signals a contrast in meaning (Hodson & Paden, 1983; Pena-Brooks & Hegde 2007).
