Phonological Processing Disorders
A phonological process disorder involves patterns of sound errors. For example, substituting all sounds made in the back of the mouth like "k" and "g" for those in the front of the mouth like "t" and "d" (e.g., saying "tup" for "cup" or "das" for "gas").

Another rule of speech is that some words start with two consonants, such as broken or spoon. When children don't follow this rule and say only one of the sounds ("boken" for broken or "poon" for spoon), it is more difficult for the listener to understand the child. While it is common for young children learning speech to leave one of the sounds out of the word, it is not expected as a child gets older. If a child continues to demonstrate such cluster reduction, he or she may have a phonological process disorder.

The Integrated Listening System Focus home unit helps to address auditory processing issues which are a common root cause of phonological processing issues. Clients have often been treated for phonological processing issues when the true cause lies deeper. When the auditory issues are treated a person is able to discriminate what they hear more efficiently and improved phonological processing skills often result.

I have no idea how to begin to thank you for your commitment to this amazing work and for the gift you have given to my children. I believe in every cell of my body that you have transformed them into and onto extraordinary!!! This was a puzzle piece that has been missing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
