speech training because he was autistic and in his free time. The result is, there are
some developments in his ability to produce consonants. The consonant /r/, for
example, in the first and second week observation the subject was able to produce it
as /y/, whereas in the third week observation, he was able to produce the /r/ sound.

observation, and [yabutan] in the second week observation, but, [rabutan] in the third
week observation.
