The Relationship between Speech Perception and Speech Production in Children with Visual Impairments
Brouwer, Kyle; Gordon-Pershey, Monica
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v115 n3 p251-257 May-Jun 2021
The influence of visual impairment (i.e., blindness or low vision) on the development of children's speech sound production has undergone some speculation for over half a century. Children learn to produce speech sounds by utilizing and integrating several cognitive-linguistic and sensory-perceptual processes, which may include processing visual input. Speech sound production is fundamentally supported by auditory acuity and auditory perceptual skills, but the role of visual acuity and visual perception in the development of speech sound production skills is less well understood. Therefore, the present study attempted to answer the following research question: Is there a relationship between speech sound discrimination and a speech sound productions in children with visual impairments?
