Children acquire phonology over several years, beginning with babbling in the first year. In the second year, children produce their first words which start with simple syllables and a limited set of sounds. In subsequent years, children learn to pronounce an extensive vocabulary as their sounds and syllables increase in number and complexity. Phonological processes describe common error patterns observed as children acquire their native language's phonology.
Speech sound disorders is an umbrella term referring to any combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, and/or the phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments that impact speech intelligibility.
Known causes of speech sound disorders include motor-based disorders (apraxia and dysarthria), structurally based disorders and conditions (e.g., cleft palate and other craniofacial anomalies), syndrome/condition-related disorders (e.g., Down syndrome) and sensory-based conditions (e.g., hearing impairment.
Speech sound disorders include Articulation disorder & Phonological disorder.
Assessments include screening and detailed comprehensive assessment.
Effective treatment of speech sound disorder include Contrast therapy, Core vocabulary approach ,Cycles Approach, Distinctive feature therapy, Naturalistic speech intelligibility intervention,Non speech oral motor therapy,Speech sound perception training.

This slide is the eighth session presentation of Introduction to Linguistics. The topic discussed is about phonology (phonemes and allophones). Alsi, it
Suprasegmental are often referred to as the prosodic, temporal, or patterned features of speech, or as the “melody” of speech.
Speech features are rhythmic in that they occur in patterns which differ from language to language.
Speech rhythm carries meaning, aids understanding, conveys emotional state ,and expresses esthetic qualities.
Suprasegmental features are produced by controlled changes in voice ,pitch ,loudness and duration.
Suprasegmental, in phonetics, a speech feature such as stress, tone, or word juncture that accompanies or is added over consonants and vowels; these features are not limited to single sounds but often extend over syllables, words, or phrases.
All of the Suprasegmental features are characterized by the fact that they must be described in relation to other items in the same utterance. It is the relative values of the pitch, length, or degree of stress of an item that are significant.
suprasegmental features includes- accent,stress/emphasis,intonation,phrasing,rate.
Brief explanation of what speech processes are (excluding respiration and resonation), their mechanism and the basic organs of the body that has to deal with it.
Phonetics and phonology are both linguistic fields that are interested in the role of sound in language. The importance of learning phonetics and phonology for someone whose first language is not English is paramount.
Learning phonetics will help a foreign speaker sound more like a native speaker by making them aware of the different sounds that English makes use of.
A presentation prepared in this regards is being shared herewith for the records and general sharing. :)

Significance of phonological awareness for the learners with special needsFarheen Anis
Phonological awareness is the area of oral language that relates to the ability to think about the sounds in a word (the word’s phonological structure) rather than just the meaning of the word.
2. What is Phonological Acquisition ?
Phonology: the sounds of a language, how they are
organized to form words
The child's learning how to pronounce the words of
the native language
3. What Does the Child Need to Learn ?
Speech sounds (consonants vowels) 'fish'; 'butter';
'elephant
How speech sounds combine to form words
(phonotactics), 'splash'; 'psash'; 'esplash
Vocabulary
7. First Words
Age 1;0: first words appear
Age 1;0 to 1;6: child slowly acquires 50 words or so
Age 1;6: first word combinations
Some Characteristics of the Child's First Words
mama Words have simple syllables, e.g
Sounds are limited: m, n, b, d, w, y, f, s
8. Summary
Children acquire phonology over several years
First year: babbling
Second year: first words
Subsequent years: learn to pronounce an
extensive vocabulary
Sounds and syllables increase in number and
complexity Phonological processes capture
error patterns
11. Phonetics deals with the physical
aspects and characteristics of all
human sounds whereas phonology is
restricted to the functional aspects of
sounds in a particular language
12. it is the process whereby children
acquire the target language‟s
phonology, including its functional
aspects like the language‟s specific
sound contrasts
13. However, in the whole acquisition
process not only a set of phonological
rules is chronologically acquired but
also a set of morphological, syntactical
and semantic rules
14. Furthermore, these processes are
largely independent of intelligence
although the degree of competence
acquired may vary among
individuals
15. children continue to commit “errors” in their speech.
However, these can be to a certain degree
predictable and follow logic structures. Therefore,
they can be described by typical phonological
processes
16. The first studies of child language
took the form of parental diaries.
The goal of these works was mostly
descriptive and often had a larger
focus than just language, because
little was known about children
behaviour acquisition .
17. in general ,I will be primarily
concerned with issues regarding
the „acquisition of phonology rather
than „child phonology‟ The latter
term is often used to describe
phonological phenomena found in
child language, without
consideration of theoretical
linguistic issues of
18. All children acquire language in the same
way, regardless of what language they use or
the number of languages they use. Acquiring
a language is like learning to play a game.
19. Children must learn the rules of the
language game, for example how to
articulate words and how to put them
together in ways that are acceptable to
the people around them. In order to
understand child language acquisition,
we need to keep two very important
things in mind
20. Speech sounds are of two major types –
vowels and consonants:
1 -Vowels are sounds produced with no
obstruction to the airflow coming from lungs.
21. 2 - Consonants are speech sounds that
involve a momentary interruption or
obstruction of the airflow. Consonants
can be described and differentiated
from each other by using three main
classifications, voice, place of
articulation, and manner of articulation
23. Stages of pre-speech vocal development
Even though children do not produce their
first words until they are approximately 12
months old, the ability to produce speech
sounds starts to develop at a much younger
age. Stark (1980) distinguishes five stages of
early speech development:[15
24. weeks: Reflexive vocalizations 0-6
These earliest vocalizations include crying and
vegetative sounds such as breathing, sucking or
sneezing. For these vegetative sounds, infants‟ vocal
cords vibrate and air passes through their vocal
apparatus, thus familiarizing infants with processes
involved in later speech production
25. weeks: Cooing and laughter 6-16
Infants produce cooing sounds when
they are content. Cooing is often
triggered by social interaction with
caregivers and resembles the
production of vowels .
26. weeks: Vocal play 16-30
Infants produce a variety of vowel- and consonant-like sounds
that they combine into increasingly longer sequences. The
production of vowel sounds (already in the first 2 months)
precedes the production ofconsonants, with the first back
consonants (e.g., [g], [k]) being produced around 2–3 months,
and front consonants (e.g., [m], [n], [p]) starting to appear
around 6 months of age
27. months: Reduplicated babbling (or canonical babbling[17 -
Reduplicated babbling contains consonant-vowel (CV) syllables that
are repeated in reduplicated series of the same consonant and vowel
(e.g., [bababa]). At this stage, infants‟ productions resemble speech
much more closely in timing and vocal behaviors than at earlier
stages. Starting around 6 months babies also show an influence of the
ambient language in their babbling, i.e., babies‟ babbling sounds
different depending on which languages they hear
28. months: Nonreduplicated babbling (or variegated -
babbling[17
Infants now combine different vowels and consonants into
syllable strings. At this stage, infants also produce various
stressand intonation patterns. During this transitional period
from babbling to the first word children also produce
“protowords”, i.e., invented
