- The influence of (central) auditory processing disorder on the severity of speech-sound disorders in children(2016) VILELA, Nadia; BARROZO, Tatiane Faria; PAGAN-NEVES, Luciana de Oliveira; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; WERTZNER, Haydee Fiszbein; CARVALLO, Renata Mota MamedeOBJECTIVE: To identify a cutoff value based on the Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised index that could indicate the likelihood of a child with a speech-sound disorder also having a (central) auditory processing disorder. METHODS: Language, audiological and (central) auditory processing evaluations were administered. The participants were 27 subjects with speech-sound disorders aged 7 to 10 years and 11 months who were divided into two different groups according to their (central) auditory processing evaluation results. RESULTS: When a (central) auditory processing disorder was present in association with a speech disorder, the children tended to have lower scores on phonological assessments. A greater severity of speech disorder was related to a greater probability of the child having a (central) auditory processing disorder. The use of a cutoff value for the Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised index successfully distinguished between children with and without a (central) auditory processing disorder. CONCLUSIONS : The severity of speech-sound disorder in children was influenced by the presence of (central) auditory processing disorder. The attempt to identify a cutoff value based on a severity index was successful.
- The influence of (central) auditory processing disorder in speech sound disorders(2016) BARROZO, Tatiane Faria; PAGAN-NEVES, Luciana de Oliveira; VILELA, Nadia; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede; WERTZNER, Haydee FiszbeinIntroduction: Considering the importance of auditory information for the acquisition and organization of phonological rules, the assessment of (central) auditory processing contributes to both the diagnosis and targeting of speech therapy in children with speech sound disorders. Objective: To study phonological measures and (central) auditory processing of children with speech sound disorder. Methods: Clinical and experimental study, with 21 subjects with speech sound disorder aged between 7.0 and 9.11 years, divided into two groups according to their (central) auditory processing disorder. The assessment comprised tests of phonology, speech inconsistency, and metalinguistic abilities. Results: The group with (central) auditory processing disorder demonstrated greater severity of speech sound disorder. The cutoff value obtained for the process density index was the one that best characterized the occurrence of phonological processes for children above 7 years of age. Conclusion: The comparison among the tests evaluated between the two groups showed differences in some phonological and metalinguistic abilities. Children with an index value above 0.54 demonstrated strong tendencies towards presenting a (central) auditory processing disorder, and this measure was effective to indicate the need for evaluation in children with speech sound disorder.
- Processamento temporal de crianças com transtorno fonológico submetidas ao treino auditivo: estudo piloto(2012) VILELA, Nadia; WERTZNER, Haydée Fiszbein; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; NEVES-LOBO, Ivone Ferreira; CARVALLO, Renata Mota MamedePURPOSE: This study compared the temporal processing performance of children with phonological disorders submitted to formal and informal auditory training. METHODS: Fifteen subjects with phonological disorder (pure tone thresholds ≤20 dBHL from 0.50 to 4 kHz, and age between 7 years and 10 years and 11 months) were evaluated, divided into three groups: Control Group: five subjects (mean age 9.1 years) without auditory processing disorder, who passed through two evaluations of the auditory processing at intervals of six to eight weeks and without any intervention; Formal Training Group with five subjects (average 8.3 years) with auditory processing disorder submitted to eight sessions of formal training; and Informal Training Group, with five subjects (average 8.1 years) with auditory processing disorder submitted to eight sessions of informal training. RESULTS: After eight sessions the formal training group showed an improvement of 8% and the informal training group of 22.5% in comparison with the pitch pattern sequence test. For the duration pattern sequence test, the average of the formal training group improved by 12.9% and the informal training group by 18.7%. There was no statistical difference between the means obtained by both groups after intervention, neither in the pitch pattern nor in the duration pattern sequence test. CONCLUSION: Although the results did not present significant differences, this pilot study suggests that both formal and informal trainings provide improvement in the temporal processing abilities of children with phonological and auditory processing disorders.
