Phonological Disorders - Final Exam
Part 1
1.
Why do children make errors in their speech?
2.
Let’s say you were asked to develop a phonological screening
instrument and you could only use 10 processes. Which ones
would you choose and why?
3.
Imagine you have just assessed a four year old
child who is almost totally unintelligible.
Describe the top 10 questions you would ask to
understand her phonological disorder.
4.
You’ve just read an article entitled Phonological Disorders:
Toward a Key Components Approach . It describes the 10
most important phonological components to be addressed in
assessment and treatment. What are they? Why are they
important?

• Heavy behavioral
influence
• Heavy pragmatics influence
• Focus on meeting a
specific criterion
• Focus on communication
success

INTERVENTION
• Perfecting phonemes
themselves
• Phonemes are targets:
• Generally shorter
assessment
• Generally longer
assessment
• Longer remediation
• Shorter remediation
• Patterns are:
Based on normative studies
Degree of visibility
Inconsistency & Stimulability
• Phonemes are trained in
steps
TIME
• Facilitate emergence of
patterns
Phonotactic
Feature driven
Related to speech inertia
FOR WHOM
• Phonemes are a means to
an end
• Mild-Moderate
• Severe - Profound
Isolation - Conversation

Phonological Development
Prelinguistic (1 Month - 1 Year
• Phonation Stage (Birth - 1 Month)
– Reflexive Vocalizations (Crying, burping)
– Nonreflexive (syllabic nasals/nasalized vowels)
• Goo Stage (2- 3 Months)
– Addition of back (velarlike) sounds to form
some kind of CV sequences
–These syllables are irregular and not adult-like
2
Phonological Development Continued...
• Canonical Babling Stage
(7 to 9 Months)
• Expansion Stage (4 to 6 Months)
– Often Called Period of Vocal Play
– Addition of Fully Resonant Nuclei
•
•
•
•
•
– Change in Timing of CV’s (MoreAdultlike)
– Babbling-Reduplications Mistaken as Words
• Stops, Nasals, Lax Vowels are common
• Sharp Place Shift (Decline in Velars)
• Results in Increase in Labials & Alveolars
Vowel-like elements
Raspberries (labial trills)
Squeals (high pitched sounds)
Growls (low pitched sounds & Yells
Similar to the Goo Stage but the timing is slower
and not adult-like.
Phonological Development Continued...
Phonological Development Continued...
• Variegated Babbling Stage (10 Mo. - 1 Yr.)
• 1 YEAR TO 1 YEAR 6 MONTHS STAGE
(The First 50 Word Period)
– Features Non-reduplicated syllables and a
– Wider Variety of Consonants & Vowels
– Children Produce Long Strings of Syllables
– Strings Often Referred to as Gibberish
– No Real Words Yet
– [p, b, t, d, k, g] ; [m, n] ; [w, j] ; [h, s]
– Phonologically .. First Words Characterized as:
• Simple Syllable Structure CV, VC, CVCV some (CVC)
• Sound Repertoire limited usually to:
– Stops, Nasals, Glides
– These Sounds Dominated Late Babbling Period
• Place of Articulation:
– Labials and Alveolars
– Preferred Vowels are: [i, a, u]

Intelligibility and speaker pitch appear to be variables
that influence a teacher’s expectations of student’s
academic, social, and behavioral performance. Overby,
Carrell, & Bernthal, 2007)
• 
Children with speech sound disorders are at risk for
having delayed phonological awareness skills if they
have poor speech perception abilities and/or relatively
poor receptive vocabulary.

Phonology/Articulation in the
School Setting
A Thorough and Efficient
Articulation Assessment Should:
From ASHA
“If acquisition of adequate and appropriate communication skills
are a required part of your school's academic standards and
curriculum and considered to be a basic skill necessary for all
children attending school, then children with a speech or
language impairment have a disorder that adversely affects
educational performance. Although state or local school
education agencies may apply different interpretations to
"adversely affects educational performance," they cannot deny
a child with a speech or language impairment services under
IDEA just because they do not have a discrepancy in age/grade
performance in an academic subject-matter area.”
•  Assess production of all English consonants.
•  Assess consonants in increasingly complex
contexts.
•  Differentiate an articulation impairment from a
phonological impairment.
•  Differentiate motor production from motor
planning.

Clinical Assessment of Articulation
and Phonology – 2nd Edition
(CAAP-2®)
•  Ages 2;6 – 11;11
•  Norm referenced (provides standard scores,
percentile ranks, age equivalents)
•  Assesses articulation and phonology
•  15-20 minutes to administer
•  Checklist approach to assessing phonological
processes virtually eliminates need for phonetic
transcription
•  Available in traditional print form or via iPad®
Why Develop the CAAP-2®?
• 
Re-norm the assessment to reflect current U.S.
census data.
• 
Extend the age limits of CAAP to 11;11.
• 
Discontinue the use of the error difference score.
• 
Include children with speech delays and
differences in the sample (n=7%).
• 
Update the stimulus picture “computer.”
• 
Run new validity and reliability studies.
•  Create an iPad® app that automatically
generates scores.

CAAP-2 Technical Characteristics
•  Sample Size: 1,486 children between the ages of
2;6 and 11;11; closely resembles 2013 U.S.
Census Data.
•  Test-retest correlations were significant beyond
p<.01 for raw scores, standard scores, and
percentile ranks.
•  Concurrent validity comparing CAAP-2 to the
GFTA-2 and the KLPA-2 were beyond p<.01 for all
raw scores, standard scores, and percentile
ranks.
•  Inter-examiner reliability coefficients were
perfect (1.00) for Articulation Inventory and
above .99 for the Phonological Process
Checklist.
What Does the CAAP-2® Assess?
Articulation Inventory (continued):
•  Most consonant sounds are tested twice – once in
initial position and once in final position; a few
sounds are tested twice in initial position or twice
in final position if the sound does not commonly
occur in both positions.
•  Three sections: Consonant Singletons,
Cluster Words, Multisyllabic Words.
•  Includes an optional introductory story to increase
attention and act as a “warm-up” activity before
beginning the actual assessment.
What Does the CAAP-2® Assess?
Articulation Inventory:
•  Pre- and postvocalic consonant singletons
•  Cluster words containing S, R, and L in the initial
position
•  Three- and four-syllable words
•  Postvocalic productions of R
•  Production of sounds in sentences
(for children 5 years and older)
What Does the CAAP-2® Assess?
Phonological Process Checklists:
•  Final Consonant
Deletion
•  Cluster Reduction
•  Syllable Reduction
•  Gliding
•  Vocalization
•  Fronting
(velar & palatal)

CAAP-2
Phonological Process Checklists
Uses a Checklist approach to assess occurrence of
ten common phonological processes.
Two types of scores:
•  Simple percentage of occurrence (if process is
≥ 40% then that process is “active”).
•  Standard scores (mean = 100; s.d. = 15).
Note: Only use phonology standard score if child
has at least one process with a percentage of
occurrence that is 40% or greater.

Step 8 (Details)
Test Interpretation:
Phonological Process Data
First Priority
•  Simple syllables (CV, VC)
•  Syllables with final consonants (CVC)
•  Front vs. back of mouth differences (alveolars/velars)
•  Acquisition of stridency (/s/, /f/, “sh”, etc.)
•  Glides vs. liquids (/w/ or /j/ for /r/ or /l/)
•  Step 6: Finalize all checklist information and
percentages (completed automatically in app
edition)
•  Step 7: Identify active processes (identified
automatically in app edition)
•  Step 8: Focus on Phonological Processes that
may hinder the development of key contrastive
features
Second Priority
•  Syllables with initial clusters (CCV, CCVC)
•  Syllables with final clusters (CVCC, CCVCC)
•  Front vs. back (middle) of mouth differences
(alveolars/palatals)
•  Voicing contrasts
•  Syllabic consonant contrasts
  rhoticity, “vocalic R”
  /l/ vs. /o/ tied with assimilations – harmony problems
Test Interpretation:
Phonological Process Data
•  Step 9: Tie up loose ends
•  Step 10: Define the big picture:
  Review all test scores and determine severity.
  Determine what speech sounds are produced
in error.
  Determine what characteristics of the child’s
speech you notice the most.
  Review error types and patterns.
  Determine if additional information is needed.
  Make recommendations.

Facilitating Contexts
Phonetic Contexts Assessed by CPAC
Consonant Probes - /s/ probe examples
WHY?
Postvocalic Quasi-Cluster (Syllable Juncture)
•  A CONTEXT may be facilitating because it minimally
interferes or competes with the error.
–  For example: /sp/ is good for /s/ because the
sounds share few features
or
•  A CONTEXT may be facilitating because it contains
similarities between the error sound and its phonetic
neighbors.
–  For example /s/ and /t/ have similar features,
hence /st/ is a facilitating context
Functioning with a word after a vowel in the
first syllable, adjacent to a prevocalic
consonant in the second syllable of a twosyllable word.
