Abstract:
The purpose of the present study is to explore generalization of knowledge across languages when treating speech sound disorders in bilingual children. Phonological knowledge interacts across phonological systems. Thus, in theory, treating phonetic aspects that are shared across the sounds of differing languages should facilitate target accuracy in each of the child’s phonological systems. Addressing both linguistic systems allows clinicians to support the communication of their clients across linguistic environments. Specifically, this study seeks to answer the question: Can cross-linguistic generalization be facilitated for targets with shared phonetic features in Spanish-English bilingual children with speech sounds disorders? The hypothesis is that shared phonetic features are subject to interactional effects. To test this hypothesis, four bilingual children between the ages of 5;0 – 6;6 with speech sound disorders participated in a phonological intervention with individualized treatment goals. Each ...
