Research and practice in developmental phonological disorders

  • Chapter
Phonology in Context

Part of the book series: Palgrave Advances in Linguistics ((PADLL))

Abstract

Children with developmental speech disorders form a large, heterogeneous group. Various conditions, both biological and environmental, place children at risk for speech disorders. These conditions include: sensory deficits (e.g., hearing impairment); cognitive deficits (e.g., learning disabilities, mental retardation); psychiatric and emotional disorders (e.g., autism); neuromotor disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy, Worster-Drought syndrome); and structural abnormalities of the vocal tract (e.g., cleft palate, malocclusion). Developmental phonological disorders — the focus of this chapter — are unlike the disorders listed above because their presence cannot be attributed to any known or detectable condition or cause.
