Delayed and Disordered Development of Articulation and Phonology between Four and Seven Years
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dodd, Barbara; Ttofari-Eecen, Kyriaki; Brommeyer, Katherine; Ng, Kelly; Reilly, Sheena; Morgan, Angela – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2018
Some children's speech impairment resolves spontaneously. Others have persistent problems affecting academic and social development. Identifying early markers that reliably predict long-term outcome would allow better prioritization for preschool intervention. This article evaluates the significance of different types of speech errors, made by 93…

When Does Speech Sound Disorder Matter for Literacy? The Role of Disordered Speech Errors, Co-Occurring Language Impairment and Family Risk of Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hayiou-Thomas, Marianna E.; Carroll, Julia M.; Leavett, Ruth; Hulme, Charles; Snowling, Margaret J. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
Background: This study considers the role of early speech difficulties in literacy development, in the context of additional risk factors. Method: Children were identified with speech sound disorder (SSD) at the age of 3½ years, on the basis of performance on the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology. Their literacy skills were…

Early Phonological and Sociocognitive Skills as Predictors of Later Language and Social Communication Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chiat, Shula; Roy, Penny – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2008
Background: Previous studies of outcome for children with early language delay have focused on measures of early language as predictors of language outcome. This study investigates whether very early processing skills (VEPS) known to underpin language development will be better predictors of specific language and social communication outcomes than…

Reprogramming Phonologically Similar Utterances: The Role of Phonetic Features in Pre-Motor Encoding.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rogers, Margaret A.; Storkel, Holly L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
Five experiments involving 84 subjects investigated the effects of phonologic similarity of speech-production latencies to explore the role of articulatory phonetic features and reprogramming operations during pre-motor stages of production. Results revealed that shared manner was the most influential factor associated with the observed inhibitory…

A Prospective Longitudinal Study of Phonological Development in Late Talkers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Williams, A. Lynn; Elbert, Mary – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2003
Free play and elicited language samples were obtained monthly for 10 to 12 months from five late talking children. Analysis indicated that three of the children resolved their late onset of speech by 33 to 35 months of age. Both quantitative factors (e.g., limited phonetic inventory) and qualitative factors (e.g., atypical error patterns) were…

Developmental Phonological Disorders III: Long-Term Speech-Sound Normalization.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shriberg, Lawrence D.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
Ten preschool children with developmental phonological disorders were followed for seven years. Analyses characterize the sequence, rates, and error patterns of long-term speech-sound normalization in relation to developmental perspectives. Findings support the hypothesis of a critical period for speech-sound development, with long-term…

Developmental Phonological Disorders II: Short-Term Speech-Sound Normalization.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shriberg, Lawrence D.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
A conceptual framework for short-term and long-term speech-sound normalization research is presented, and 1-year normalization outcomes for the 54 children described in EC 609 708 are reported. Although certain individual speech variables were significantly associated with normalization, there were no speech, prosody-voice, or risk-factor…
