Funded Activity Summary

Children's Changing Speech Error Patterns: Articulating, Listening, and Thinking. When children are learning to talk, they make many errors of pronunciation. Between speech onset and five years of age, their pronunciations change, gradually approaching adult pronunciations of words. Most children share the same error patterns, although 6% have difficulty acquiring intelligible speech, that affects their academic and social development. The investigation will examine factors that contribute to the acquisition of speech in normally developing and speech-disordered populations: oro-motor skills, auditory and cognitive processing. Experiments will determine the importance of each domain for speech development. The efficacy of a novel intervention programme for children with speech disorders will be evaluated.
