It affects the physical abilities to perform skilled movements or speech. 

  • Developmental, present at birth
  • Acquired, due to brain injury
  • Early diagnosis from a properly trained Speech Language Pathologist can help the child receive helpful interventions and make strides in progress.
  • Some children with apraxia learn Sign Language for better communication.

  • Many children are “late talkers,” so the impairment is not always identifiable, depending on severity. 
    • Most children make errors with phonological processes as they are learning their language, but when mistakes continuously happen as they develop, a speech sound disorder may be identified.

It is important to recognize when a student is continuously having trouble with, leaving off or adding the same sound in their articulation. This may show that it is an uncontrollable error. 
    *For instance, if a child continues to substitute the /r/ sound for the /w/ sound after the age of 4, he/she may have a speech impediment.]]>     2017-03-12 19:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shaina1/36xj6b7khd9c/wish/159521398     What Do We Look For?

    • listening skills
    • full classroom participation in discussions/activities
    • Provide adequate space and time to accommodate for your student’s needs-there may be interpreter or some for of augmentative communication
    • Individual instruction may be necessary for some students. Provide this with considering possible embarrassment of students. Be mindful of student preference.
    • Constantly model correct pronunciation of sound, rather than focusing on errors-During independent instruction/intervention: 
          -make eye contact
          -tell student to watch movements of your mouth
          -ask he/she to copy your mouth movements when producing sounds
     
    When introducing new vocab:
    • divide words syllabically 
    • Utilize different listening and verbal activities
    • perform informal assessment to ensure progress or comprehension of activity
     
    And always…
    ***Be patient and encourage these students to participate in all classroom activities

    •    Having a student sit near you to easily meet her learning needs.
    •    Discussing possible areas of difficulty and working with the student to implement accommodations.
    •    Always asking before providing assistance, and using positive reinforcement when the student completes an activity independently.
    •    Using peer assistance when appropriate.
    •    Modifying activities or exercises so assignments can be completed by the student, but providing the same or similar academic objectives.
    •    Creating tests that are appropriate for the student with speech impairment (for example, written instead of oral or vice versa.)
    •    Providing scribes for test taking if a student needs assistance.
    •    Making sure the student understands test instructions completely and providing additional assistance if needed.
    Remember, patience is extremely necessary in teaching students with speech impairments. Accepting and accommodating an individual’s speech will benefit educators, classmates, and of course, the student herself by sharpening listening skills and promoting learning and understanding. After all, everyone’s voice deserves to be heard.
