“…Age of suppression of cluster reduction process in our study was found to be 3 years 6 months. This is 6 months earlier than was reported by Shriberg and Kwiatkowski [31]; but matching with the results of Owaida [32] and Abou-Elsaad et al [33]. Both found that disappearance of cluster reduction is between 3 and 4 years of age.…”

Background Consonant clusters are a feature of many world languages. The acquisition of consonant clusters is one of the latest occurring aspects of speech acquisition in normally developing children. Difficulty producing consonant clusters has been found to contribute to high levels of unintelligibility in children with phonological impairment. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was applied on 150 typically developing (TD) Egyptian Arabic children, with an age range of 30 to 48 months, using the Egyptian Monosyllabic Consonant Cluster Test (EMCCT). The children were divided into 3 groups, each group with an age range of 6 months. The objective was to determine the age of suppression of cluster reduction and to evaluate two different phonological therapies (minimal contrast and auditory bombardment) in children who have not acquired consonant clusters (less than 90% correct production). Results Age of suppression of cluster reduction in Egyptian children was found to be between 3 years 6 months and 4 years. There was a gradual decrease in frequency of occurrence of cluster reduction from 74% (2 years 6 months–3 years) to 46% (3 years–3 years 6 months) to 10% (3 years 6 months–4 years). There was significant statistical association between consonant clusters of obstruents + sonorants (stops + sonorants and fricatives + sonorants) between the different age groups (p value < 0.001). Both techniques of therapy showed significant improvement of post-therapy score. There was no significant difference between total intervention duration in both techniques; however, there was significant association between cumulative intervention intensity and minimal contrast therapy (p value < 0.001). Conclusion The Egyptian Monosyllabic Consonant Cluster Test (EMCCT) is a valid and reliable assessment tool for identification of percentage of occurrence of cluster reduction process. Both minimal contrast and auditory bombardment approaches are applicable for cluster reduction remediation.

“…14,16,31,32 Likewise, in the educational setting, there is evidence of improvement in oral and written language through speech-language therapy interventions in aspects such as phonological awareness, expressive language, storytelling, pragmatic skills, decoding of written messages, comprehension and production of texts, among others. [32][33][34][35][36] In this context, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association 37 states that collaborative intervention between the speech language pathologist and the teacher in the classroom promotes the development of communication skills critical for emotional and social functioning and school success. In this regard, several studies show that the planning and implementation of speech-language therapy intervention programs in groups of students have a favorable effect on oral, reading, and writing processes.…”

Varios estudios han mostrado que, en el escenario escolar, la fonoaudiología tiene un impacto significativo en la detección, promoción y el abordaje de los procesos inherentes a la comunicación humana como base para el aprendizaje, la participación y la inclusión. A pesar de esto, las disposiciones normativas recientes en Colombia no definen claramente el quehacer de este profesional en este escenario. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, el objetivo de este artículo es presentar un análisis crítico sobre del fonoaudiólogo en el contexto de la educación inclusiva en Colombia. En la primera parte del presente artículo se analizan los problemas en la denominación de la fonoaudiología y la pertinencia de sus funciones. Luego, se aborda el rol de este profesional en el contexto educativo. En la última parte se proponen algunas acciones para reivindicar el rol de los fonoaudiólogos en la inclusión y la equidad en la educación en términos de la eliminación de barreras del entorno y el fortalecimiento de capacidades de acuerdo con las particularidades de los estudiantes.

“…Current phonological assessments vary in this aspect. For example, Dodd, Hua, Crosbie, Holm, and Ozanne (2006) and Fox-Boyer (2014) apply a cut-off of ≥ 5 items, while Clausen (2016a) applies a cut-off of ≥ 4 items, Benediktsdóttir, Massdóttir, andHansson (2020) ≥ 3 items andAbou-Elsaad et al (2019) ≥ 2 of variations of the same type being labelled as a pattern. McReynolds and Elbert (1981) have recommended that a phonological variation should occur at least four times (≥4) in order to be considered as a pattern in a child's speech.…”
