Document Summary

For example, more difficult to produce affricates may be produced as stops or fricatives. May be based on class of sounds (manner, place and voicing). May also be based on syllable structure (cv, cvc, etc. ) Simplification processes become clinically significant if they persist longer than expected. For example, a child of 6 years that is still stopping fricatives is said to have a persistent phonological process. Atypical processes, those that are not seen in the course of normal language development, are also clinically significant. For example, backing to velars (/t/ becomes /k/) is not one of the typical phonological processes seen in development. Can be divided into substitution processes, in which one phoneme is substituted for another, and syllable structure processes, in which the syllable is changed in some way. Can also be divided into processes which disappear early (before age 3) late (after age 3), and atypical (never occur). Some early processes never occur in some children s speech.
