Compensatory articulation patterns on the glossal phonemes were developed clinically in a study of 14 total and 11 partial glossectomees. Following therapy, intelligibility of the former increased from 0-8 percent on admission to 18-24 percent intelligibility; the latter group improved from 6-24 percent to 24-46 percent intelligibility.

The study examined the functions served by consonant assimilation and reduplication in the speech of eight language disordered boys (ages 3 to 5). (Author)

Described are the cases of two language disordered children (9 and 10 years old) who became excessively disfluent during the course of articulation and language remediation. (Author/SBH)

Various aspects of the phonological behavior of three normal speaking and three language disordered children (ages 2 to 4) matched on the basis of mean utterance length, sex, and cognitive development, were compared. While some individual variation was noted, no substantial group differences were revealed. (Author)

The study was conducted to obtain information on test-retest differences in Articulation Indices (AI) when a clinical threshold-based method is used to calculate AI. Standard deviations were greatest when the AI was near 50 percent and were also dependent on the relationship of the hearing thresholds and speech spectrum. (Author/DB)

A new graphic way of summarizing information about age in relation to consonant development is proposed. (Author)

Thirteen distinctive features of English phonology were used in studying misarticulating children's feature systems in comparison to the English system, and for a traditional articulation evaluation of phoneme articulation. Results showed children's feature errors consistent across phonemes containing the feature, and misarticulations only…

Data on the onset of stuttering in 22 children two and three years of age were obtained through systematic parent interviews using a coded questionnaire. All children were reported to have begun stuttering prior to 36 months of age. (Author)

Speech-sound productions of 18 children (ages four to six years) with articulation errors, obtained with three different speech-sampling methods, were compared. (Author)
