Multiple oppositions is a therapy approach for children with very severe speech sound errors. Typically this is seen with all speech sounds collapsing to 'd'. For example, 'Key', 'Tea', 'See', 'She', 'Three' will all be said as 'Dee'. This approach is more effective than minimal pairs for children with severe difficulties.
