Clinical feasibility of a play-based assessment of motor speech disorders in young children in Austria
Background There is a lack of valid measures for the differential diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) worldwide, especially ones that are suitable for young children. With newly developed assessments, one key question is their feasibility in a community clinical setting. Aim The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of a play-based tool to assess CAS, using the “Language-Neutral Assessment of Motor Speech” (LAMS) as an exampl…
Lexical and phonological development in children with childhood apraxia of speech – a commentary on Stoel-Gammon's ‘Relationships between lexical and phonological development in young children’
Although not the focus of her article, phonological development in young children with speech sound disorders of various types is highly germane to Stoel-Gammon's discussion (this issue) for at least two primary reasons. Most obvious is that typical processes and milestones of phonological development are the standards and benchmarks against which we measure disorder and delay. Factors that impact children without disorders may suggest underlying…
More crosslinguistic evidence on fillers in the late single-word period
Peters' Note highlights the tight interconnection between phonological advances and the child's discovery of morphosyntactic structure. Taking a constructivist view, or assuming no advance knowledge of what linguistic principles or parameters may be expected, investigators like Peters & Menn (1993) or Veneziano & Sinclair (in press) come to the conclusion that children must begin with the surface regularities of language, only gradually familiari…

Prelinguistic phonetic contingency: Data from Down syndrome
Maternal contingent responding may be an important factor in facilitating the language development of both normally developing and various at-risk populations. However, the majority of recent work has failed to differentiate phonetic from semantic contingency. Data from a longitudinal study illustrate differences in maternal contingent response patterns to children with and without Down syndrome, and suggest an important role for maternal phoneti…
Phonological Reorganization: A Case Study
Various types of phonological behavior have been identified as evidence of the systematization which is said to occur in the course of the transition from early, “whole-word” phonology to later, segment-based phonology. However, we have a limited understanding of the role of such early phonological behavior in facilitating — or initiating — the emergence of segmental phonology. Furthermore, there has been little acoustic verification of such chan…
