Unlabelled:
Auditory processing and phonemic discrimination are essential for communication.
Type Of Study:
Retrospective.
Aim:
To evaluate auditory processing and phonemic discrimination in children with normal and disordered phonological development.
Material And Methods:
An evaluation of 46 children was carried out: 22 had phonological disorders and 24 had normally developing speech. Diotic , monotic and dichotic tests were applied to assess auditory processing and a test to evaluate phonemic discrimination abilities.
Design:
Cross-sectional, contemporary.
Results:
The values of normally-developing children were within the normal range in all auditory processing tests; these children attained maximum phonemic discrimination test scores. Children with phonological disorders performed worse in the latter, and presented disordered auditory processing.
Conclusion:
Auditory processing and phonemic discrimination in children with phonological disorders are altered.
