Personally I would wait on the voicing of those sounds for a child with severely unintellible speech. While the words obviously aren't correct, they don't have as major an impact on intelligibility as a change in manner or place does.
I worked with a child who did the same thing with /p/ and /t/ and I held off on those two until he had pretty much everthing else. He was using /f, k, g/ and /s/ and /l/ blends in conversation before I touched the /p/ and /t/ for voicing. Targeting those other sounds made a huge difference in his intelligibility, and he actually picked up the /p/ and /t/ fairly quickly when we finally got to them.
