Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs)
• Difficulty producing and/or using the sounds of the adult language, in comparison to peers.
• Includes both “articulation” and “phonology,” as well as possible cases of CAS.
• Does not include (in this study) SSDs with a clear etiology.

Prevalence of SSDs
• Approximately 32% of all communication disorders are SSDs (Slater, 1992).
• 2% ‐ 6 % of school‐age children have SSDs.
• Many children with SSDs also have language problems; estimates from 35 ‐ 50% (Tyler, 2002) to 75% ‐ 85% (Shriberg & Kwiatkowski, 1988).

SSDs and Literacy
• Phonologically‐based reading and spelling skills are often lower for individuals with a histories of SSDs (Lewis & Freebairn, 1992).
• 50‐75% of children with SSDs have been found to have long‐term academic problems (Lewis et al., 2006).

Some Early Predictors of Literacy Acquisition
• Phonological awareness
• Phonological (short‐term) memory
• Phonological recoding in lexical access

Phonological Awareness
• The awareness of speech sounds and the ability to reflect on and manipulate them (Tunmer, Pratt & Herriman, 1984).
• Involves abilities such as rhyming, segmenting, blending, and manipulating sounds (e.g., moving or reversing sounds).

Phonological Awareness and Literacy
• Phonological awareness is a critical skill for literacy development.
• Performance on phonological awareness tasks is a good predictor of future reading ability (Webster & Plante, 1992).
• 2/3 of children with SSDs between the ages of 3;6 and 16 have low PA (Broomfield & Dodd, 2005).

Phonological (Short‐Term) Memory
• Temporary storage/retention of speech sound information (Baddeley, 2003).
• Assessed by tasks such as repetition of syllables or nonwords.
11
![Page 12: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Phonological Recoding in Lexical Access
• Often referred to as Rapid Naming (RN)
• Assessed by tasks that involve rapidly naming pictures of familiar objects, letters, etc.
• Relationship with reading skills, especially reading fluency

Which children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Co‐occurring Language Impairment– Robust evidence suggesting SSD + LI = increased
risk for literacy problems (Catts, 1993; Lewis et al., 2004; Nathan et al., 2004)

Which Language Skills?
• Much research indicating that, for children with SSD, language skills predict additional variance in phonological processing and literacy scores
• Semantics• Receptive vocabulary explains ~25% of variance in PA in preschoolers (Rvachew & Grawburg, 2006; Preston & Edwards, in press)
• Age 5‐6 semantics composite score significantly predicts age 7‐9 literacy and PA (Peterson et al. 2009)

Which Language Skills?
• Morphosyntax• Age 4 ½ MLU strong predictor of age 8 ½ reading (Bishop &
Adams, 1990)
• Age 5‐6 Expressive Syntax score explains significant variance in 7‐9 yr PA and reading skills; speech skills only weakly predicted PA (Peterson et al., 2009)
• CELF Word Structure and Recalling Sentence scores related to Reading Recognition & Reading Comp in children grades K‐2 (r>.57) (Bernhardt & Major 2005)

Which Children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Nonverbal Cognition– Nonverbal IQ found to relate to reading outcomes in children with SSD (Bird et al., 1995; Peterson et al., 2009)
– Index of general developmental delay?
19
![Page 20: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Which Children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Speech perception – Preschool speech perception (as assessed by SAILS) predicted kindergarten PA (Rvachew, 2006)
– Perception problems poor phonological representations?
20
![Page 21: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Which children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Persisting Speech Problems– Case Studies (e.g., Stackhouse, 1997)
– Lower PA scores for children ~6 yrs who still have a SSD vs. those whose SSD normalized (Nathan et al., 2004; Raitano et al., 2004)
– Children ages 10‐14 with residual rhotic errors showed deficits in phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid naming (Preston & Edwards, 2007, 2009)
21
![Page 22: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Which children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Childhood Apraxia of Speech– A neurological childhood (pediatric) speech sound disorder in which the precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired in the absence of neuromuscular deficits (e.g., abnormal reflexes, abnormal tone) (ASHA, 2007)
• Clinical and theoretically important– Motor‐based disorder resulting in problems with phonological bases of literacy
22
![Page 23: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Which children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Childhood Apraxia of Speech– Children ages 6‐11 with CAS below controls on reading and spelling (Stackhouse, 1982)
– Preschoolers with SSD followed to ages 8‐9. CAS < S+LI < S only on spelling and reading comprehension (Lewis et al., 2004)

Which children with SSD are most likely to have literacy problems?
• Severity– Inconsistent Findings: not strongly predictive of phonological awareness or literacy skills if speech is measured using standardized tests or PCC (Peterson et al., 2009; Preston, 2008; Rvachew, 2006, 2007; Smith et al., 2005)
– Is this a measurement issue?

Theoretical Argument
Is there a common mechanism that underlies speech sound production and (pre)literacy?
One possibility: Accuracy of Phonological Representations (Bird et al., 1995; Rvachew et al., 2003, 2004; Rvachew & Grawburg, 2006; Senechal et al., 2004; Sutherland & Gillon, 2005)
In production, poorly specified phonological representations may be indicated by atypical(unusual) speech sound errors

Types of Speech Sound Errors
• In the present study speech sound errors are classified as:
– Typical error patterns
– Atypical error patterns
– Distortions 31
![Page 32: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Typical Error Patterns
• Common in typical phonological development, e.g.,
‐ Final Consonant Deletion
‐ Cluster Reduction
‐ Velar Fronting
‐ Stopping of Fricatives
‐ Gliding of Liquids
32
![Page 33: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Atypical Error Patterns
• Unusual or not commonly observed in typical phonological development, e.g.,
‐ Initial Consonant Deletion
‐ Cluster Production
‐ Backing to Velars
‐ Glottal Replacement
33
![Page 34: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Distortions
• Errors that are within the correct phoneme category (sub‐phonemic), e.g.,
‐ Dentalization
‐ Lateralization
‐ Labialization
‐ Derhotacization (of /r/)
34
![Page 35: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Research on Types of Speech Sound Errors & PA
• Mixed results re: phonological processing & error types– Trend for 6 yr olds with SSD & low PA to produce more
“atypical”/unusual errors (Leitao et al. 1997)
– no statistics, just observations
– Children with more atypical errors at 6 yrs scored lower on phonological processing at 12‐13 yrs (Leitao et al., 2004)
– n= 7 per group, did not consider vocabulary differences
• Preschoolers with low PA had more “typical” omissions than preschoolers with normal PA (Rvachew et al., 2007)
• Kindergarteners with low PA had more “atypical” substitutions than peers with normal PA (Rvachew et al., 2007)

37
The Current Study
• Is the relative occurrence of different types of speech sound errors related to phonological processing in preschoolers with SSD? – Considers both the frequency and types.
• Theoretical assumption: poorer performance on phonological processing tasks and less precise speech sound output both reflect weaker phonological representations
![Page 38: Speech Sound Disorders: Red Flags for Literacy Problems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb498e2e268c58cd5c629a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Outline
• Defining speech sound disorders (SSD), phonological processing, literacy
• Known risk factors: Which children with SSD are likely to have literacy problems?
• Types of speech errors
• Relating speech errors to phonological processing in preschoolers with SSD
• Summary

Summary
• More atypical sound changes associated with lower performance in 3 phonological processing domains (phonological awareness, phonological memory, rapid naming)
– Implications for early literacy problems
– May be diagnostically useful for SLPs
– May help to explain some inconsistencies reported in other studies relating SSD and phonological processing
• Distortions and typical sound changes were notassociated with phonological processing
• Caveat: Still assess phonological processing in ALL preschoolers with SSD

Overall Summary• Based on existing literature, children with SSD most at risk for (pre)literacy problems would include:
– Co‐existing language impairment
– Childhood Apraxia of Speech
– Persisting speech problems (~6 yrs and beyond)
– Low Nonverbal IQ
– Speech perception deficits
– Severity?
– Many Atypical errors 70

Where do we go next?
• SSD and literacy problems: Etiological similarities and differences
• Better measurement and classification of SSD– Error patterns can be informative
• Neural phenotypes: what can the brain tell us about how these cognitive skills are related or how subgroups might be defined? Can neural characteristics help predict outcomes?
