L5 SSD pt 1 Flashcards
3 constructs to describe children’s speech acquisition
- Early - middle - late
- Percentage of consonants correct (PCC)
- Age of acqusition
who’s theory is early - middle - late 8
shriberg (1993)
early 8
(/p/, /b/, /j/, /n/, /w/, /d/, /m/, /h/)
middle - 8
/t/, /η/, /k/, /g/, /f/, /v/, /t∫/, /dʒ/)
late 8
(/∫/, /s/, /θ/, /δ/, /r/, /z/, /ʒ/, /l/)
early-middle-late 8 in children with speech delay
- nearly all of the Early-8 English consonant sounds correct
- only some of the Middle-8 sounds correct
- few of the Late-8 sounds correct.
sounds acquired by 2 years
p
sounds acquired by 3 years
b, t, d, k, g, m, n, ng, f, h, y, w
sounds acquired by 4 years
v, s, z, sh, ch, j, l
sounds acquired by 5 years
th (voiced), zh, r
sounds scquired by 6 years
th (voiceless)
explain percentage of consonants correct
- Shriberg and Kwiatkowski (1982)
- Calculated by dividing the number of consonants produced correctly by the total number of consonants in a connected speech sample.
why should we not use PCC
- no differential diagnosis
- no consideration of vowel distortions
developmental speech sound disorder
Delayed or impairment in expected development
main points of DSSD
- The most common developmental impairment (up to 25% prevalence level in some studies)
- Not evenly distributed across age groups
- Often an indicator of additional needs in language and communication; patterns tend to resolve in this direction
- Often co-occurs with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), reading or spelling disability and stuttering
implications of persistent SSDs on other aspects of development
- If SSDs persist beyond preschool, 30%–77% may also experience reading difficulties (Anthony et al., 2011).
- Without specialist services, these children face increased risk of lifelong social, educational, and vocational limitations (McCormack et al., 2009).
what does DEAP stand for
Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology
why is the DEAP particularly useful for us as Irish SLTs
its the only standardized test standardized to Irish children
what type of differential diagnosis is the DEAP especially useful for
- differentiating between articulation and phonological disorders
- if a child has a sound in their consonantal inventory but they do not make in context it’s a phonological disorder
- If a sound is not in a child’s consonantal inventory, it’s an articulation disorder or delay
how do we know if a child is exhibiting a phonological delay
if they are using typical phonlogical processes later than they should be
