Speech Sound Disorders
Speech Sound Disorders
DEFINITION
✓ Speech Sound Disorders (SSD) are defined as an alteration in the articulatory
production of sounds (phonetics) and/or in the functional use of the contrastive
segments "phonemes" of a language (phonology) , which affects intelligibility. of
speech to different degrees and can be diagnosed at different stages of life.

✓ The outlined definition of TSH has significant importance for the clinician, since what he
ultimately seeks is to adapt the emission of speech sounds as much as possible to
socially acceptable standards, in such a way that the person maintains communication.

NOMENCLATURE
✓ Over time, the nomenclature used to name children with Speech Sound Disorders –
TSH– changed according to the authorial influences of the moment and the areas to
which said researchers belonged (medicine, psychology or linguistics).
YEAR TERM USED
1920-1970 Dyslalia and functional joint disorder
✓ In the DSM-IV, the term "phonological disorder" was used, and the term TSH replaces it in the
DSM-V.
A- There are persistent difficulties in the production of speech sounds that interfere with the
understanding of speech or prevent the messages of verbal communication
B- The disorder causes limitations in effective communication that interferes individually or
combined with social participation, academic or work achievements.
C- The onset of symptoms occurs at an early point in development
D- The difficulties are not attributable to congenital or acquired conditions such as cerebral palsy,
cleft palate, hearing loss, brain trauma, or other medical or neurological conditions
TYPES OF ALTERATIONS
I PHONETIC ALTERATIONS
• Alteration that consists of the inability to correctly produce (articulate) the sounds
expected at a certain chronological age.
• This impossibility is detected from the isolated emission of sound, as well as in syllables,
words and conversation.
• Errors are identified as distortions , substitutions or omissions, and are generally
associated with morphological (structural) deficits, neuromotor deficits, the use of
poorly adapted prostheses and piercing , among others; and even incorrect motor
learning.
PHONOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS
/
• Alteration that consists of the inappropriate use of the contrastive segments expected
for a certain chronological age.
• This is characterized because the individual manages to articulate the segment in
isolation or in syllables; but does not use them during spontaneous verbal interaction,
that is, the individual is capable of producing the segment <p> or the syllable <pa> and
even words or phrases when they are syllabled (with or without a model), but in the
Spontaneous speech says <telota> for <ball> or <maache> for <mapache>.
Errors are identified as delayed or unusual phonological simplification processes (PSF),
as well as inappropriate use of phonotaxis. They are generally associated with a
cognitive-linguistic or auditory sensory alteration (discrimination or phonological
recognition).
ALTERATIONS
PHONETICS-PHONOLOGY
• Speech alteration in which phonetic and phonological errors coexist, although the
number of signs, severity, intensity and onset of the same varies from subject to subject, and
it may happen that there is only one phonetic error and several phonological or vice versa.
Yo---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ➢
The previous description refers to cases in which both alterations are present
(phonetics and phonology) simultaneously. However, there are less frequent cases in
which, for the same sound, both phonetic and phonological errors can be detected, that is,
there is an inability to correctly produce the sound expected for its chronological age in
isolation or in syllables ( phonetic error), in addition to showing variability in the errors
made when said segment is found in words or spontaneous speech (phonological error).

DIAGNOSIS
✓ For the intervention, it is more relevant to identify and describe the symptomatology
and not the etiology, that is, to establish the profile of the phonetic and/or phonological
alterations of the individual, since this will allow us to propose the techniques and
instruments that must be used during the intervention. treatment; However, this position
does not exclude the need and importance of seeking to know and identify the etiology of
the alteration itself.
✓ Some evidence that supports this view is, for example, the fact that, in an individual whose
etiology is a cleft lip and palate, phonetic alterations will mainly be found, although
phonological errors will also be evident; A patient with dysarthria, apraxia of speech, or
childhood apraxia of speech may show both alterations, in addition to prosodic errors;
and children with some syndrome (for example Down), cognitive-linguistic,
morphological and motor alterations that trigger phonetic and phonological and even
prosodic errors.
CONSIDERATIONS
• Observe if it omits, substitutes or distorts
• Analyze what the child does when emitting the phoneme
• Record broadcasts
• Provide visual, auditory, and tactile support.
• Reinforce each attempt

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SOUNDS TO BE WORKED WITH?
• Choose sounds that improve intelligibility, that is, they are emitted more frequently
• Choose sounds that are made at younger ages
• Choose sounds with features that are easier to articulate
• Try to group several sounds by features
• Choose sounds that are important to the user, those that cause embarrassment when
emitted incorrectly.

anatomical structures of speech (EAH) in an active manner and intended to achieve specific
