SSD
Speech sound disorder (SSD) is a disorder that affects the production and use of sounds in speech, influencing the clarity of language at different stages of life.

How do we eliminate SSD?
Study of speech sound disorder (SSD)
- Assessment of articulatory developmentWe conduct a detailed assessment of sound and phoneme production to identify the patient's specific difficulties.
- Medical history and interview with parentsWe collect information about the history of speech and communication development, as well as relevant family history.
- Standardised articulation and phonology tests: we use specific tools to assess the accuracy and consistency of the sounds produced.
- Hearing tests: we assess the child's auditory discrimination ability. If hearing problems are suspected, the child is referred to an ENT specialist for a hearing assessment.
Treatment design for speech development disorder
-
Setting articulatory goals: we set clear and realistic goals to improve the production of specific sounds and speech clarity.
-
Oral strengthening and mobility exercisesWe design activities to strengthen the orofacial muscles and improve the coordination necessary for precise articulation.
-
Auditory discrimination exercisesWe work on the patient's ability to distinguish between correct and incorrect sounds, which facilitates correction.
Performance for SSD
-
Speech stimulation therapyWe use techniques to stimulate language development, including the correct production of sounds.
-
Use of visual and tactile materialWe incorporate visual and tactile resources to facilitate understanding and reproduction of sounds.
-
Breathing and coordination training: we focus on coordinating breathing, phonation and articulation for more effective speech production.
Development of the disorder
-
Monitoring of articulatory development: We conduct regular assessments to measure progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
-
Speech intelligibility tests: we assess the patient's ability to be understood by others, which guides the direction of treatment.
-
Incorporating strategies into the daily routineWe provide guidelines and activities that patients and their families can practise outside of therapy sessions to reinforce progress.
