  2. Purpose of the study • To determine whether or not a parent’s history of speech sound disorders affects their children • To determine the residual effects of speech sound disorders that carry over into adulthood

  3. Participants • 147 parents • 36 parents reported being enrolled in speech therapy as a child • 12 of those parents had speech and language problems • The children of these parents ranged from 4-6 years old • Moderate to severe speech sound disorder • No hearing impairments • Normal speech mechanism • No neurological disorders • Normal intelligence

  4. Methods • Parents were tested in the following areas: • Speech sound production • Multisyllabic Word Repetition Task • Tongue Twister Task • Phonological processing skills • Nonsense Word Repetition Task • Pig Latin task • Spelling skills • Test of Written Spelling • Reading skills • Subtests of Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests • Language skills • CELF • Oral motor skills • Time-by-Count Test of Diadochokinetic Syllable Rate
