Waring, Rebecca; Rickard Liow, Susan; Dodd, Barbara; Eadie, Patricia – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: The conversational speech of most children can be understood by people outside the family by the time they reach 4 years. However, for some children, speech sound disorders (SSDs) persist into their early school years, and beyond, despite adequate hearing, oromotor function, and language learning opportunities. One explanation for…

Dodd, Barbara – Topics in Language Disorders, 2011
Aim: The cognitive-linguistic abilities of 2 subgroups of children with speech impairment were compared to better understand underlying deficits that might influence effective intervention. Methods: Two groups of 23 children, aged 3;3 to 5;6, performed executive function tasks assessing cognitive flexibility and nonverbal rule abstraction.…

Crosbie, Sharon; Holm, Alison; Dodd, Barbara – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2009
Most children's speech difficulties are "functional" (i.e. no known sensory, motor or intellectual deficits). Speech disorder may, however, be associated with cognitive deficits considered core abilities in executive function: rule abstraction and cognitive flexibility. The study compares the rule abstraction and cognitive flexibility of…

Evaluation of Core Vocabulary Intervention for Treatment of Inconsistent Phonological Disorder: Three Treatment Case Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McIntosh, Beth; Dodd, Barbara – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2009
Children with unintelligible speech differ in severity, underlying deficit, type of surface error patterns and response to treatment. Detailed treatment case studies, evaluating specific intervention protocols for particular diagnostic groups, can identify best practice for children with speech disorder. Three treatment case studies evaluated the…

Identification and Differential Diagnosis of Phonological Disorder in Bilingual Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Holm, Alison; Dodd, Barbara; Stow, Carol; Pert, Sean – Language Testing, 1999
Describes development of the Rochdale Assessment of Mirpuri Phonology, a phonological assessment for bilingual children that was administered to normally developing bilingual children as well as children suspected of having a speech disorder. Normally developing children showed phonological error patterns in English that are considered atypical of…
