Study Notes
Importance of Children
- Children are the future and integral members of communities today.
- Effective communication is essential for children to build relationships and interact with family, schools, and wider communities.
Role of Communication in Development
- Successful communication skills are foundational for literacy, employment, and societal contribution.
- Most children develop intelligible speech by learning to pronounce consonants, vowels, and words pertinent to their dialects.
Speech Sound Disorders (SSD)
- Some children experience challenges in speech production, categorized under speech sound disorders (SSD).
- Types of difficulties in SSD include:
- Trouble producing one or two specific speech sounds.
- Issues organizing and producing groups of speech sounds.
- Very unintelligible speech.
- Difficulty articulating multisyllabic words (e.g., "ambulance," "hippopotamus").
- Challenges in perceiving differences between speech sounds.
- Struggles with prosody, which involves stress, rhythm, intonation, and tone.
Complexity of Speech Difficulties
- Children may be unable to articulate sounds in familiar words but demonstrate the ability in less familiar contexts, indicating perceptual and organizational challenges rather than mere articulation issues.
- Example: A child may pronounce /θ/ in "thing" differently, but articulate /s/ in "sing" using /θ/.
