Articulation and Phonological Disorders
Question Bank
Course Introduction
Articulation and Phonological Disorders is a comprehensive course focused on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of speech sound disorders in children and adults. Students explore the typical development of speech sounds, common patterns of error, and the underlying causes of articulation and phonological difficulties. The curriculum covers both theoretical foundations and evidence-based intervention strategies, with an emphasis on distinguishing between articulation and phonological disorders. Through case studies, hands-on practice, and analysis of current research, students gain the skills necessary to create and implement effective therapeutic plans, promoting clearer and more intelligible speech in individuals with communication challenges.
