Abstract Details

2012, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
Speech Sound Disorders are the most common speech problems among children. However, there is little information about long-term effects of this disorder. Speech Sound Disorder can be determined through a combination of articulation and phonological processing tests. Although there are well agreed upon cut-off points for articulation measures, there are not appropriate cut-off points for phonological processing measures in order to determine if an individual has Speech Sound Disorder later in life. Because of this gap of information, this study set forth to develop appropriate cut-off points for phonological processing measures that can be used for all ages. The study then examined what childhood tests relate to Persistent Speech Sound Disorder and finally what social outcomes later in life are associated with Residual Speech Errors. Persistent Speech Sound Disorder was found to be related to cognitive functioning while Residual Speech Errors were found to be significantly associated with Childhood Depression.
