    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.
