Polysyllable productions in preschool children with speech sound disorders: Error categories and the Framework of Polysyllable Maturity

Abstract

RUNNING HEAD: Polysyllable productions in preschool children with SSD 2 Abstract Purpose: Children with speech sound disorders (SSD) find polysyllables difficult; however, routine sampling and measurement of speech accuracy are insufficient to describe polysyllable accuracy and maturity. This study had two aims: (1) compare two speech production tasks and, (2) (5) alteration of phonotactics (77.4%), (6) alteration of timing (63.4%), and (7) assimilation or alteration of sequence (0.0%). The Framework of Polysyllable Maturity described five levels of maturity based on children's errors. Conclusions: Polysyllable productions of preschool children with SSD can be analysed and categorised using the WAP, and interpreted using the Framework of Polysyllable Maturity.

The Design and Validation of Production of Polysyllabic Words Test in 4-7 Years Old Persian-speaking Children: A Preliminary Study

“…In the first stage, the items were reduced to 66 items through three panels, each consisting of three speech therapists who were experts in sound disorders. Their decision criteria comprised the words' high frequency, significance, familiarity, visual representability of the word, and inclusion of all Persian vowels and conso-nants in the two positions at the beginning and end of the syllables [26]. Also, the chosen words were culturally aligned with the popular dictionary of Iranian children [19].…”

The ongoing evolution of speech-language pathology: Broadening the lens of clinical practice

“…Both Masso, McLeod, Baker, and McCormack (2016) and Westerveld and Vidler (2016) present research that contributes to knowledge about building SLPs' repertoire for assessing children's communication. In contrast, Beales, Cartwright, Whitworth, and Panegyres (2016) document outcomes following an intervention for older adults who have received a diagnosis of Primary Progressive Aphasia.…”

“…In contrast, Beales, Cartwright, Whitworth, and Panegyres (2016) document outcomes following an intervention for older adults who have received a diagnosis of Primary Progressive Aphasia. Masso et al (2016) introduce the Framework of Polysyllabic Maturity as a means of describing children's performance when producing polysyllabic words. Their study was based on the premise that, for children with speech sound disorders, standard speech sampling is not sufficient to comprehensively test production of polysyllabic words.…”

Validity and Reliability Analyses for the Development of Urimal Test of Articulation and Phonology-2

“…셋째, 기존의 서울 및 대구지역의 아동을 대상으 로 표집의 범위가 제한된 점을 보완하여 전국단위의 대규모 규준 을 구축함으로써 결과에 대하여 보다 타당한 정보를 제공할 필요 성이 있다 (Jo & Huh, 2017 Kim & Shin, 2015). 자발화와 유사할 뿐 아니라, 문맥효과 관찰, 음소산출의 변이성 관찰, 오류의 심각도, 말 명료도를 포함한 여러가지 정보를 얻을 수 있으며, 특히 다음절 단어에 관한 아동의 산출능력을 분석함으로써 아동의 작업기억, 문해력 발달, 어휘, 문법능력과 관련한 정보를 얻을 수 있다 (Barton-Hulsey, Sevcik, & Romski, 2018;Kim & Ha, 2014;Lewis et al, 2015;Masso, McLeod, Baker, & McCormack, 2016;McNeill, Wolter, & Gillon, 2017;Preston, Hull, & Edwards, 2013;Seo, Ko, Oh, & Kim, 2017;Waring, Eadie, Liow, & Dodd, 2018). 다섯째, 보 다 다양한 말소리장애의 지표를 분석하고 각 지표 수치에 대한 표 준화 작업을 실시하여 임상현장에서 중재계획을 세우는 데 실질적 인 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다 (Masso, Baker, McLeod, & Wang, 2017;Preston et al, 2013).…”
