Differential Diagnosis of Pediatric Speech Sound Disorder
TLDR
Theoretical accounts and clinical management of pediatric speech sound disorders (SSD) are limited by previous research as mentioned in this paper, which has focused on the articulation of consonants in single words rather than phonological competence and the cognitive-linguistic abilities underlying speech development.Abstract:
Theoretical accounts and clinical management of pediatric speech sound disorders (SSD) are limited by previous research. Participants’ speech difficulties have been inadequately described, reflecting the lack of clarity in existing diagnostic guidelines. Performance measures have primarily focused on the articulation of consonants in single words rather than phonological competence and the cognitive-linguistic abilities underlying speech development. Evidence-based practice reviews conflate studies of heterogeneous speech-disordered populations who received widely differing amounts of therapy using different intervention approaches. More recently, however, researchers have begun to explore assessment measures that allow differential diagnosis of subgroups of SSD in terms of qualitative analyses of speech errors and underlying cognitive linguistic abilities. These measures have allowed long-term follow-up to better predict which children will have future literacy difficulties and to identify specific underlying deficits that inform intervention.read more

Who to Refer for Speech Therapy at 4 Years of Age Versus Who to "Watch and Wait"?

TL;DR: Children with speech delay at age 4 years seem more likely to resolve speech disorder resolution, and this might justify a “watch and wait” approach, while those with speech disorder at age4 years appear to be at greater risk for persistent difficulties, and could be prioritized for therapy to offset long‐term impacts.

A Psycholinguistic Framework for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning of Developmental Speech Disorders
TL;DR: A process-oriented approach to diagnosis and treatment planning of developmental speech disorders holds important advantages, offering direct leads for treatment aimed at the underlying impairment, tailored to the specific needs of the individual and adjusted to the developmental trajectory.

Speech Sound Disorders in Children: An Articulatory Phonology Perspective
Aravind Kumar Namasivayam,Aravind Kumar Namasivayam,Deirdre Coleman,Aisling O’Dwyer,Pascal van Lieshout,Pascal van Lieshout +5 more
TL;DR: The phonetic-phonology dichotomy is reconcile and the interconnectedness between these levels and the nature of SSDs is discussed using an alternative perspective based on the notion of an articulatory “gesture” within the broader concepts of the Articulatory Phonology model.

Nonword repetition and word learning: The nature of the relationship.
TL;DR: This paper presented a theoretical framework designed to accommodate core evidence that the abilities to repeat nonwords and to learn the phonological forms of new words are closely linked, and concluded that word learning mediated by temporary phonological storage is a primitive learning mechanism that is particularly important in the early stages of acquiring a language, but remains available to support word learning across the life span.
