Study Notes
Speech Sound Classification
- Phoneme: Smallest unit of sound in a language that conveys meaning.
- International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): Unambiguous system for representing speech sounds.
- Consonant Classification: Consonants are categorized by place, manner, and tongue elevation/advancement/lip position.
- Vowel Classification: Vowels are classified by tongue elevation and advancement.
Speech Sound Disorders (SSD)
- Speech Sound Disorder (SSD): A significant problem with speech sound production, leading to speech differing from expected age and cultural norms.
- Types of SSD:
- Phonemic (Rule-based) Disorders: Errors indicating a pattern of phonological rules, simplifying adult sound productions.
- Phonetic (Motor-based) Disorders: Errors in producing specific sounds, resulting in distortions.
- Articulation Impairment: Difficulty articulating certain sounds, leading to phonetic errors (sound distortion).
- Phonological Impairment: Difficulty with phonological rules governing sound patterns, resulting in phonemic errors (sound substitution or omission).
Prevalence and Etiology of SSD
- Prevalence:
- Approximately 15% in 3-year-olds.
- 6% in early school-age.
- Boys have a higher prevalence than girls.
- Causes:
- Omission Errors: Entire phoneme is absent, possibly affecting specific phonemes or a class of phonemes.
- Distortion Errors: Sound is misarticulated without changing the phoneme (e.g., lateral lisp, frontal lisp).
- Addition Errors: Unnecessary sounds are added to words.
- Phonological Processes/Patterns: Systematic sound changes affecting a class of sounds (e.g., final consonant deletion, cluster reduction, stopping of fricatives).
Assessment and Treatment of SSD
- Assessment:
- Stimulability: Ability to imitate incorrect sounds, indicating readiness for therapy and guiding goal selection.
- Intelligibility: Impact of errors on understanding the child's speech.
- Oral Peripheral Mechanism Examination (OPE): Evaluates the structure and function of the oral mechanism for speech production.
- Treatment:
- Phonological Approach: Focuses on teaching phonological rules, addressing changes in meaning caused by errors.
- Minimal Pairs Approach: Utilizes contrastive approaches with rhyming word pairs to highlight meaning differences.
- Cycles Approach: Works with children with severe phonological delays, stimulating the emergence of sound patterns over successive cycles.
- Hodson Assessment of Phonological Patterns 3rd Edition (HAPP-3): Used to identify patterns for treatment.
- Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP): Helps identify patterns for treatment.
