Standard scores obtained on the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation 2 (Goldman & Fristoe, 2000)
Phonetic Inventory Complexity Levels defined by Dinnsen, Chin, Elbert, & Powell (1990), with Level A being least complex and Level E being most complex.
Stimulability of treatment sound in isolation (i.e., just the consonant sound /ɹ/) prior to the onset of treatment
