A child’s progress is related to a strong link among home, daycare, school and therapy and the child’s interactions When to Begin with everyone in these settings. Speech Sounds is intended to be used with younger children ages 1 through 5 years, but can also be adapted for older children. Each Speech Sounds unit focuses on one Prior to embarking on this adventure, a child should have an speech sound and incorporates auditory foundation and be able to: s Child-friendly words s Listen, attend to, and discriminate if sounds are the same or different s Daily routines s Vocalize suprasegmentals: rhythm, duration, pitch and intensity s Activities s Produce vowels s Games and toys s Attach meaning to animal and/or vehicle sounds s Songs, rhymes and fingerplays s Imitate vocalizations on request s A popular children’s book s Understand and use a few functional words, such as “bye bye,” s Additional books “more,” “all gone” with the appropriate suprasegmentals and vowels, but not necessarily correctly produced consonants. What to Do What to Expect The focus is on teaching speech through listening to maximize a child’s The purpose of Speech Sounds is to “bathe the child in sound” auditory potential or auditory self-monitoring of speech. The process (Pollack, Caleffe-Schenck, Goldberg, 1997) to stimulate natural is as important as the content. Listening is a cognitive process and development of speech through listening. Provide rich auditory input our job is to stimulate a child’s brain so he can understand what the and exposure for one sound, and then move to a different sound ears hear. Follow the 5 E’s (Caleffe-Schenck, 2007) as you highlight after one or two weeks. Typically a child will show understanding sounds through spoken language and weave them into daily routines, (reception) prior to using the sounds and language (expression). children’s literature, activities, games and toys: Initially there is not an expectation for perfect speech. Speech s Expose a child to a sound or word(s) using auditory input only. development is a process and emerges over time. A child’s imitations Begin by babbling the target sound coupled with either the vowel will give adults information about what the child hears, his depth “ah” or “oo” or “ee”, such as “bah bah bah”. Extend this to words and confidence in listening, need for reprogramming of his cochlear and phrases rich in the targeted sound. Present the model through implant speech processor(s), the amount of exposure he has had listening first, before the child sees the toy or prop or cue. This to the sound, oral-motor development and/or motivation. Imitation sets the stage for a child to listen with intent and to establish an is highly dependent upon motivation, so a child must be stimulated “auditory impression” of the target sound that will assist in recall in with interesting daily activities.

Also consider that the most frequently occurring manner of Place a dot (s) in front of a word or an activity after you have phonemes is plosives and stops, or p, t, k, b, d, g, although “s” is the presented it to a child. To monitor speech development, circle a specific sound most often used by English speakers. Consider the word when the child correctly says the targeted sound in the sounds a child uses frequently which are highly motivating, such as word. Vocabulary development is tracked by putting a dash (----- ) sounds in his name or sounds in his favorite foods. by the words a child understands and a plus (+) by the words a child says spontaneously. Overlap among units is expected. A variety of sounds, in addition to the target sound, will emerge naturally as a child’s auditory self- monitoring develops. It is important to individualize the program based on each child’s progress. Develop strategies based on diagnostic teaching, such as, alternating consonants within manner from sounds the child has acquired and babbling nonsense syllables related to words and phrases from real life situations. How Speech Sounds Works Speech Acoustics Introduction Since the basic premise of Speech Sounds is that a child learns The Listening-Talking-Reading Connection speech through listening, it is fundamental to consider the basics We learn to talk by saying what we hear and hearing what we say. of speech acoustics. Every speech sound has concentrations of This is termed the “auditory self-monitoring loop” or “auditory acoustic energy called formants that make it different from other feedback loop.” It is the avenue through which children develop sounds. Although the same sound is pronounced slightly differently sounds and learn the language of their culture. Children who are based on the sounds that precede or follow it, in general, the deaf are capable of developing natural sounding voices and spoken acoustic properties of a sound are consistent. Understanding of language when they learn speech through listening rather than speech acoustics assists professionals and parents in establishing looking. Too much emphasis on visual cues may lead to unnatural realistic and systematic goals, reinforcing appropriate approximations sounding voice quality and exaggerated speech. A child’s ability to of speech, and optimizing a child’s auditory potential with the use develop natural and intelligible speech is related to early detection of appropriate technology. and intervention, use of appropriate and optimal technology such Manner of production is HOW a sound is made. Speech Sounds as cochlear implant(s), establishing a strong auditory foundation cards are color coded according to the manner of the sound. Listed by learning to listen, integrated sensory and motor systems, below are the different manners, basic definitions, consonants and consistent exposure to spoken language, and parent or caregiver the cards’ color code for each manner of production: participation.

Manner of production is easier to hear than place of production. It encourages development at the phonetic level where a child For example, /b/ is a plosive and sounds very different from /m/ imitates sounds or uses echolalia, and sets the stage for a child to which is a nasal. Interestingly, /b/ and /m/ look the same through begin babbling. Babbling progresses beyond simply imitating sounds lipreading because they have the same place, bilabial. This is why to linking sounds with meaningful language, conversation, literature sounds that have the same place of production may be confusing and eventually reading. to a child who relies on lipreading to learn speech. A child is relying more on auditory cues when he substitutes sounds that are within the same manner of production, such as saying /p/ for /t/ or /k/ or saying /s/ for /f/ or /TH/.
