How Does Help Students with ?
As speech-language pathologists, we have extensive training and knowledge about phonological skills. Many students with speech sound errors have errors. This means they have trouble understanding which sounds should be put together to form words.
They may use phonological processes where they replace one class of sounds with another (such as replacing all long sounds like “s” with short sounds like “t”). These same children with phonological speech errors may have phonological reading problems as well (a.k.a. dyslexia).
That means that should be an integral part of a student’s reading intervention team, even if the child is only having difficulty with reading and not speech. We can help these students improve their overall phonological systems and understand how sounds go together to make words.
Also, some children with dyslexia also have language learning problems which should be addressed by a speech therapist as well.
