Using a standardized articulation test, comparisons were made between the articulation of 31 autistic children (mean age 11 years) and (1) a group of 31 predominantly subnormal language matched controls; (2) 11 developmental receptive dysphasic controls. (Author/SBH)

Thirty kindergarteners, 15 who substituted /w/ for /r/ and 15 with correct articulation received two perception tests and a memory test that included /w/ and /r/ in minimally contrastive syllables. (Author)

Eighteen children (7-12 years old) with lateral lisps learned correct 1s/articulation through the "straw technique", a procedure designed to eliminate lateral emission. (CL)

Five studies were reported in which the magnitude of the influence of word length upon the loci of instances of disfluency in the oral reading of 132 stutterers and 141 nonstutterers was investigated. (Author/DB)

Thirteen distinctive features of English phonology were used in studying misarticulating children's feature systems in comparison to the English system, and for a traditional articulation evaluation of phoneme articulation. Results showed children's feature errors consistent across phonemes containing the feature, and misarticulations only…

Sixteen measures thought to be related to the intelligibility of speech of hearing impaired children were examined with 42 deaf children (aged 4 to 19). Results indicated that intelligibility of speech was correlated with several parameters not conventionally used in speech assessment (breath control, suprasegmental perception and production,…

Five experienced articulation judges scored the tape-recorded responses of four first and second grade children with articulatorily deviant /r/s under two response arrangement conditions. (Author)
