Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate velopharyngeal timing in children with and without speech sound disorders (SSDs) of unknown etiology. Six preschool-aged children participated in the investigation. Three of the children had typically developing speech and language and three had SSDs of unknown etiology. Aerodynamic testing of the velopharyngeal mechanism was conducted during repetitions of the word "hamper" for six temporal variables. Two of the six temporal data points achieved statistical significance at the level of p < .05: duration of nasal airflow (p = .024) and start of oral pressure to end of oral pressure (p = .016). Per Cohen's d, small effect sizes were noted for two variables, medium effect sizes were noted for one variable, and large effect sizes were noted for one variable.
期刊介绍:
Articles for Communication Disorders Quarterly (CDQ) are accepted for review on a continual basis. The editor of CDQ welcomes submissions of previously unpublished applied and clinical research relating to typical and atypical communication across the lifespan. This includes assessment of and interventions for communicative disorders in infants, toddlers, young children, school-age children, youth, and adults. The readers of CDQ represent a breadth of viewpoints and professional interests, which is also reflected in the diversity of interests and expertise of the editorial board members. The journal is particularly of interest to speech–language pathologists and teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing. CDQ uses a masked peer review process for submissions.
