The evaluation of a model speech training program for deaf children.

M J Osberger, A Johnstone, E Swarts

    Journal of Communication Disorders

    Summary

    This study evaluated a speech training program for hearing-impaired children, finding that limited residual hearing and other issues hindered progress for some. The auditory-oral approach targeted suprasegmental patterns in English speech development.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Audiology
    • Developmental Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Hearing impairment significantly impacts speech development in children.
    • Effective speech training requires structured, hierarchical approaches.
    • Auditory-oral methods focus on utilizing residual hearing for speech acquisition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of a systematic speech training program for hearing-impaired children.
    • To investigate the impact of an auditory-oral approach on suprasegmental English patterns.
    • To identify factors influencing speech training progress in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A group of 20 hearing-impaired children (ages 7-10) participated.
    • A hierarchical, auditory-oral speech training program was implemented.

  • Daily monitoring using a checklist system tracked progress.
  • Main Results:

    • Children were categorized post hoc into rapid, slow but steady, and inordinately slow progress groups.
    • Approximately one-third of children experienced significant difficulties at various training levels.
    • Limited residual hearing and co-occurring conditions were associated with slower progress.

    Conclusions:

    • The systematic speech training program showed promise but presented challenges for some children.
    • Individual factors, particularly the degree of hearing loss, are critical predictors of success.
    • Further research is needed to tailor interventions for children with complex needs.
