    • Aspiration: Air puff released during consonant production.
    • Allophone: Variations of a phoneme that don't change meaning.
    • International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): Standardized system of speech sound symbols.
    • Place/manner of articulation: Specifics for producing sounds.
    • Voicing: Vocal cord vibration aspect of sounds.
    • Consonant clusters: Clusters of consonants in syllables.
    • Intelligibility: How clearly a speaker is understood.
    • Infant vocalization: From quasi-resonant nuclei to babbling.
    • First words: Simplified word templates, customary production, mastery.
    • Phonological processes: Simplifications (syllable structure, substitutions, assimilation).
    • Theories of phonological acquisition: Generative phonology, phonological processes, coarticulation.
    • Dialects: Geographic/social/cultural variations (standard/vernacular).
    • African American English (AAE): Creolist theory, differences from Standard American English.
    • Hispanic English (HE): Influences from Spanish.

    Speech and Language Disorders in Children

    • Prevalence of communication disorders (5-10% of population).

    • Differentiating between normal and disordered speech.

    • Speech and language interrelationship.

    • Impact of speech/language disorders on learning.

    • Causes (genetic/environmental/neurological), types (functional/organic). Speech characteristics (articulation, voice, fluency, language).

    • Hearing loss: Conductive/sensorineural/mixed, impact.

    • Vision and disabilities: Low vision/legally blind.

    • Developmental/intellectual disabilities (intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder).

    • TBI/stroke/learning disabilities.

    • Specific speech disorders: Articulation disorder, phonological disorder, voice disorders, fluency disorders (stuttering).

    • Impact on learning: Academic difficulties.

    • Early identification: Importance of early intervention.

    • Multifactorial causes and treatment approaches: Speech therapy/medical support/educational intervention/psychological counseling.

    • WHO's ICF system: Holistic disability assessment.

    • Dyslexia: Difficulty in reading and decoding

    • Developmental Language Disorder (DLD): Language difficulties without other impairments.

    • Phonological disorders: Difficulties in applying sound rules.

    • Articulation disorders: Trouble producing speech sounds.

    • Fluency disorders: Disruptions in speech flow (developmental stuttering, neurogenic stuttering, psychogenic stuttering).

    • Importance of communication skills and challenges of disorders.

    • Impact on learning: Difficulty with reading and writing.

    • Early intervention: crucial for positive outcomes.
