An Evaluation of Methods Used to Teach Speech to the Hearing Impaired Using a Simulation Technique.

Abraham, Suzanne; Stoker, Richard G.

Volta Review, v86 n7 p325-35 Dec 1984

The effectiveness of syllable practice and word methods in teaching speech to severely hearing-impaired children was investigated with normal-hearing listeners. The effect of Cued Speech was evaluated for each teaching method. Results indicated that a syllable practice approach showed significantly higher average gains in acquisition of novel phonemes than did a whole word method. (Author/CL)
