Problem is, with his cluster reduction, he deletes the /s/ and vocalizes the /t/… whoops! See the slight problem? Cluster reduction (deletion of one or more sounds in a blend) is just one example of phonological process. Therefore, stick is a pretty frequent, relevant word for him. No big deal, right? Well, my sweet hubby kindly asked if we could maybe work on these sounds the other based on one errored word in particular… The word is “stick.” Now remember, this is our wild, outdoor-loving, all-boy little boy. Those tricky /s/ blends are particularly difficult.īecause I know this, I can understand what he says 99% of the time and I can “translate” for him. For example, one pattern in his speech right now is – cluster reduction. But, that doesn’t mean his errors don’t cause some issues at times. Now, since his mama is an SLP, he has already been informally “evaluated,” and his speech is fairly typical for his age. But in addition, he is also precious, sweet, snuggly, and all those good things too! And, he, like most 3-year-olds, can be hard to understand at times. I have a wild little 3-year-old guy who is wide-open all the time. Here’s a quick look into my life currently. What is a Phonological Processes Disorder? Immediate access to all my favorite freebies here: In order to do that, we need to know what they look like and what typical development looks like. his greatly supports the need to intervene early to treat phonological processes disorders. Often times, these children struggle with phonemic awareness and research shows that difficulty in these areas is a strong predictor of poor reading and spelling development. Therefore, children with phonological processes disorder need to learn to organize their sounds into a system in order to use them correctly in connected speech. Phonological processes disorders are actually language-based disorders that occur at the phonemic level. Phonological processes disorders differ from an articulation disorder (a motor-based sound disorder) however, the two can co-occur. Check out my blog post on different therapy approaches here. I’ve talked a bit about phonological processes and ways to treat them in previous posts.
