“…Valuing the individuality of clients might be driven by SLPs' knowledge of the social impacts of having an SSD. These include an increased risk of bullying; poor peer relationships; less enjoyment for school (McCormack et al, 2011); feelings of frustration, embarrassment, and sadness about having an SSD (Daniel & McLeod, 2017); and feelings of isolation and confusion as the result of frequent communication breakdowns (Markham et al, 2009). While SLPs in this study prioritized clients' values, perspectives, and circumstances as one of the three elements of EBP, they demonstrated opinions and insight about evidence of therapy targets.…”

Purpose This study explored the intervention processes used by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to treat children with speech sound disorders (SSDs). Method Semistructured, individual, in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 Australian SLPs. Inductive content analysis was used to classify the data to provide a description of current intervention processes for children with SSDs. Results Three main factors were identified relating to the intervention processes used by SLPs: (a) target selection, (b) therapy approaches, and (c) structural and procedural aspects of therapy sessions, including feedback. The findings revealed that SLPs often combine elements of four therapies: the minimal pairs approach, traditional articulatory approaches, auditory discrimination, and Cued Articulation. Initial therapy targets typically aligned with a developmental approach or were functional speech targets with meaningful relevance to the child and their family. Conclusions These findings contribute to the current state of knowledge about the intervention processes used by SLPs for children with SSDs. The use of hybrid speech pathology therapies, which combined elements of favored approaches, was common. Hybrid methods were intended to help tailor the interventions to individual needs. Client needs were highly prioritized by SLPs and influenced their choice of therapy targets and therapy approaches.

“…While most children are ready for verbal communication at preschool age, some lack speech and linguistic abilities equal to their peers [1]. Such abilities can limit the children’s inclusion in the social and educational environment [2]. Due to this, speech and linguistic abilities play an important role in human society and are crucial for establishing verbal communication.…”

BACKGROUND: Speech sound appears first in the child’s speech development and is the primary means of expression. Articulation disorders can hinder the comprehensibility of children’s speech. The speech, in turn, can limit the child’s inclusion in the social and educational environment. AIM: To establish frequency and distribution of lambdacism, rhotacism and sigmatism or their combination in preschool children and the frequency and distribution of these articulation disorders among boys and girls. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of data from preventive examination for early diagnosis of impairments of hearing, speech and sounds in preschool children has been carried out. In the selected sample, only the data for children diagnosed with lambdacism, rhotacism, sigmatism or their combination are analysed. The data is statistically examined, represented in tables and figures and analysed descriptively. RESULTS: In the analysed sample, the greater presence of lambdacism was observed before rhotacism and sigmatism. Most commonly, these three types of articulation disorder appear alone, as isolated cases, instead of a combination of two out of the three impairments. They are more common in boys than in girls. CONCLUSION: Timely diagnosis and rehabilitation of lambdacism, rhotacism and sigmatism or their combination in preschool children will enable easier and faster integration of the children in the social and educational environment without leaving lasting consequences

“…As for people's perception of alterations in speech, in Q18 (parents) the most frequent answer was "speech" and the associations were "speak, exchanges, delay, took, place, follow-up, relatives, motivate and different", showing that other people as well observe the aspects related to the functioning of speech in children, many of the times in a derogatory way. In a study carried out in Australia 25 , parents reported that, in public spaces, they had to protect their children in response to other people's reaction to the children's speech, mainly in regard to social aspects and emotional issues.…”

Objective: to verify both the family’s and the children’s perception of the impact of the phonological type of speech sound disorders. Methods: this is an exploratory qualitative-quantitative prospective research of a Speech-Language Pathology Service of a Higher Education Institution. Sixty-four persons took part in the study, thirty-two being children (nineteen boys and thirteen girls), their age ranging from four years and one month to eight years and nine months, diagnosed with the phonological type of Speech Sound Disorder. Besides them, thirty-two adults, either their parents or guardians, participated in the study. The results were organized by degree of association - strong association, average association and average association with aspects of speech. Results: regarding the parents’ perception, the impact of Speech Sound Disorder on their children is related to interpersonal relationships and to emotional behavior, besides school issues. As for the children’s perception, the results demonstrated that the biggest impact of irregular speech takes place in unfamiliar environments. In addition to that, they have shown that isolation and the development of feelings such as frustration, shyness and low self-esteem are common among these children, making their relationship with other people difficult. Conclusion: the perception of parents and children regarding speech-related difficulties should be studied in order to reach both a better understanding and a more adequate treatment of Speech Sound Disorders.
