Abstract:
Objective To study the types of articulation errors in children with speech sound disorders(SSD)and compare the differences in articulation between two groups according to their ages of language development(≥4 years and＜4 years).Methods A comprehensive assessment was conducted on 260 children with SSD who visited the outpatient department between May 2022 and May 2023.The S-S method for delayed language development e-valuation and the Gesell developmental schedules were used.Based on their assessed language developmental age,130 children from each age group(≥4 years and＜4 years)were selected.All participants underwent speech articu-lation assessment using the Word List developed by Huang Zhaoming and Han Zhijuan.The types of consonant and vowel mispronunciations were compared between the two groups,and statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 26.0 software to determine differences in speech articulation.Results Apart from distortions,the most common type of consonant mispronunciation in both age groups was frontalization,while the most frequent type of vowel mispronunciation was final sound omission.The occurrence frequency and composition ratio of consonant and vowel mispronunciations were similar in both age groups,and there was no significant difference in speech articulation be-tween the two groups of children.Conclusion Early intervention is crucial for children with SSDs at different lan-guage developmental stages(≥4 years and＜4 years)to prevent the solidification of incorrect articulation patterns.
