Abstract
Speech sound disorder is a communication disorder in which children have persistent difficulty saying words or sounds correctly. Speech sound production describes the clear articulation of the phonemes (individual sounds) that make up spoken words. It requires both the phonological knowledge of speech sounds and the ability to coordinate the jaw, tongue, and lips with breathing and vocalizing in order to produce speech sounds. Children with speech sound disorder may have difficulty with the phonological knowledge of speech sounds or the ability to coordinate the movements necessary for speech. These communication difficulties can result in a limited ability to effectively participate in social, academic, or occupational environments.
The aim of this study is to construct an Arabic auditory bombardment therapy program and measure its effectiveness in treatment of functional speech sound disorders.
This study was applied on 60 participants diagnosed with functional speech sound disorder without language disorders or with mild delayed language development who were chosen according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Inclusion criteria was that they should range in age from 3-5 years presented with functional speech sound disorder without language disorders or with mild degree of delayed language development, with average IQ and without any organic causes of speech sound disorders (motor/neurological, structural, or sensory/perceptual causes) and exclusion criteria were illiterate or non-cooperative family and care givers with speech sound disorders. The participants were divided into 2 equal groups. Both groups were subjected to the assessment protocol. After assessment, both groups received the conventional therapy for 3 months but only group (2) received the constructed auditory bombardment therapy program.
