Summary

Many of the children with speech and language disorders have speech sound disorders. In German-speaking countries, it is estimated that around 16% of children between the ages of three and eight are affected by school entry. The treatment of speech sound disorders aims to enable the transfer of the learned into spontaneous speech. The purpose of this study is to ascertain, whether children, by means of a break in therapy, succeed in transferring, the target phoneme or target consonant cluster - from a certain threshold - to spontaneous language. The researchers compare the effect of the transfer to spontaneous speech situations by means of a twelve-week break from therapy with a continuous therapy.

In addition, the researchers would like to find out whether the acquisition of the grapheme has an additional positive influence on the generalization of the target phoneme or target consonant cluster in spontaneous speech situations.

The researchers also seek to understand individual differences in the generalization effects on the production of the target phoneme / target consonant cluster in spontaneous speech situations, in which the researchers document and evaluate information on the treatment method and treatment duration before the therapy break.
