    It also indicated that each child had a delay in speech development characterized by a delay in sound productions and a presence of phonological processes. Even though results varied among subjects, Kertoy and colleagues (1999) suggest this research is important for understanding what speech characteristic may be present with children who have had a tracheostomy, and they argue that these individuals should have a phonological process evaluation as part of their standard assessment. Although only 6 children were analyzed, each child had reported use phonological…

    Due to the little or no change found using the minimal pair approach, the multiple oppositions approach was developed. Treatment results suggested that the use of broad training and systemic intervention in a multiple oppositions approach includes larger treatment sets of multiple phonemic contrasts, and provides intervention across broader spectrum of a child’s error patter, rule, or phoneme collapse. Multiple opposition approach is unique and specific to each child because it focuses on the individuals phonologic strategies, as compared to minimal pair therapy, which includes training on one isolated aspect of a child’s system. Williams indicated that the findings of this study suggest that one treatment approach may not be suitable for all…

    Studies monitoring children through preschool and the school years have shown “that 40–100% of children with preschool speech and language disorders have persistent language problems, and 50–100% have academic difficulties” (Lewis, Freebairn, & Taylor 2000). Children with a speech sound disorder at a young age, tend to continually exhibit difficulty with phonological awareness, a key component of emergent literacy. A longitudinal study tracked the academic progress of children with expressive speech impairments from their first year of school (ages 5-6), till their final years of elementary school (ages 12-13). The children with non-developmental expressive speech impairments demonstrated weakness in phonological awareness, reading comprehension, reading accuracy, and spelling (Leita & Fletcher…
