What is the point of Classification beyond
Artic Vs. Phonology?
SSD = Heterogeneous group, differ in surface speech error patterns, severity, etiology and presence/absence of language impairment
If we create sub-groups –should we be doing different therapies?
YES. No single treatment is appropriate for such a diverse population.
Different sub-groups = Different treatment / Sequence of treatments/diff outcomes to Tx
What 6 language components are we observing during assessment
Receptive Expressive Morphology Syntax Semantics Pragmatics
Dodd’s classification system of SSDs divides Subgroups in terms of _____________ that reflect differing _____________ in the speech processing chain (perceptual, cognitive-linguistic, and motor skills).
surface error patterns,
underlying deficits
The 2 main categories of Dodd’s classification are
- Phonology
2. Articulation
What is an SSD?
Speech sound Disorder (SSD) : SSD encompasses a range of children’s (adult’s) speech production disorders including those arising from linguistically-based difficulties (i.e., a phonological disorder), and/or production related articulation disorders (i.e., phonetic disorders).
What are the 3 subtypes of the phonological classification?
- Delayed Phonological
- Consistent Deviant
- Inconsistent Deviant
What are the 2 subtypes of Articulation?
- Articulation Disorder
2. Structural Anomaly (Misc)
A child whose speech is characterized by errors that occur in normal development but at a chronological age when the patterns should not occur (6 month delay or more) they are considered to have what SSD classification?
Delayed phonological
Give examples of typical processes
Cluster Reduction Stopping Liquid simplification Fronting Weak Syllable Deletion Final Consonant Deletion
A child with atypical patterns, poor PA and difficulty at the cognitive linguistic level of the speech chain would be considered which SSD?
Consistent (Deviant) phonological disorder
Describe 4 areas in which a child with Consistent (Deviant) phonological disorder would struggle
> Poor understanding of: -phonological awareness (e.g. rhyme and alliteration {she sells sea shells..} awareness).
Poor understanding of phonemic rules
Impaired ability to master the phonotactic constraints.
Poor phonological Memory
List 13 atypical processes
- Stressed syllable deletion*
- Deleting initial consonants*
- Addition/Epenthesis*
- Sound Preference patterns*
- Backing: Alveolar to velar
- Glottal replacement of oral consonant
- Fricatives replacing stops (Spirantization)
- Unusual cluster reductions
- Stops substituted for glides
- Palatalization
- DeNasalization/Nasalization
- Deaffrication (atypical for Spanish, ok for English speakers)
- Metathesis
Which atypical processes have largest impact on intelligibility and should therefor be targeted first
Stressed syllable deletion (BaNAna –> bana)
Deleting initial consonants (Sun –> su)
Addition/Epenthesis (p-uh-lease, adding a shwa)
Sound Preference patterns* (Overuse of one sound) = phoneme collapse
For a child to be considered delayed : At least ___ of those error patterns should be inappropriate for child’s chronological age and each error pattern must observed in at least ____ different lexical items in the 50 word phonological test
one, five
For a child to be considered Atypical: At least 1 ______ error pattern must occur in at least 5 different lexical items in the 50 word phonological test
atypical
Backing is ______ in japanese speakers
typical
One explanation of atypical processes is fluctuating hearing loss due to Otitis media + effusion which makes it difficult to reliably identify the relevant _______________ and thus establish correct place for obstruents (stops/fricatives) and may alternatively use a more _______ tongue placement.
> What is this explanation called
> perceptual cues
> posterior (i.e. backing)
Auditory-Perceptual explanation of backing of coronal stops and fricatives
What is the Linguistic explanation of backing (constraint based approach)
Backing involves adding a marked feature (+dorsal) which is phonologically impossible (due to constrains and violations).
This only happens when the child has a very unusual (atypical) phonological system in which Dorsal is the default place feature.
What is the motor explanation of backing?
Poorly differentiated/timed lingual gestures with tongue (also affects lateral distortions of sibilants - tongue sides are lowered and air flows out sides of tongue causing a lisp )
