intervention, but no and language evaluation. The parents have expressed concern that their
articulation interven- daughter does not pronounce the /r/ sound correctly and has exhibited

at the present time
B. Provide both articulation intervention for the /r/ and stuttering inter-
vention
C. Provide articulation intervention for the /r/ and ignore the stuttering
D. Provide articulation intervention for the /r/ first and later provide stut-
tering intervention
