Phonetic and Metaphonological Skills of Learning in
Disabled Children

Dr. Swapna Sebastian, Paul Jasper, and
Dr. Shyamala K C

Introduction

Phonological development is the process of learning the mapping between auditory speech input and gestural control of speech output (1). Phonemes are the smallest units of speech which are written as graphemes and are acquired by age five. (2).

Speech sound difficulties can interfere with school performance and can typically exhibit reading and writing difficulties that are related to their speech errors (3). Phonological awareness is the knowledge of oral structure of speech sounds and the ability to access it and manipulate it. Phonological awareness is considered as an important skill needed for the acquisition and development of reading skills. (3)

The aim of the study was to investigate the speech sound production and metaphonological skills in Malayalam speaking children with learning disability in comparison to typically developing children.

Materials and Method

Objective

To compare the speech sound production skills and metaphonological skills of Malayalam speaking children with learning disability and typically developing (TD) children matched for sex and age.
