Study Notes
Differential Diagnosis: Articulation vs. Phonological Disorder
- Phonological disorders may manifest as multiple phonemes produced as the same sound (e.g., /t/ for /s/ and /ʃ/).
- Lack of phonemic contrast indicates phonological awareness issues.
- Preservation of phonemic contrast occurs across prevocalic, intervocalic, and postvocalic positions.
- Heavy preservation suggests an articulation disorder rather than a phonological one.
- Consistent poor learning patterns are characteristic of articulation disorders.
- Emerging or easy context sounds affect the assessment of articulation disorders, considering sound stimulability with articulation techniques.
OPM Structures in Speech Production
