To introduce a Clinical Forum focused on the Complexity Account of Treatment Efficacy (C. K. Thompson, L. P. Shapiro, S. Kiran, & J. Sobecks, 2003), a counterintuitive but effective approach for treating language disorders.

Three articles are included, addressing complexity in treatment of phonology, lexical-semantics, and syntax.
