Abstract:

Primary school students with residual speech errors (RSEs) may face an increased risk of social-emotional and educational challenges as compared to their peer group without speech sound disorders. For example, previous studies have shown that RSEs might reduce children’s participation in verbal activities in the classroom setting and might lead to the limitations in peer relationships, regardless of the number of speech sounds in error. Furthermore, a greater negative social-emotional impact of RSEs is observed within the group of children whose speech disorder persists longer. However, still little is known about the effects of RSEs on interpersonal and intrapersonal functioning in children. Here we investigate how RSEs may change interpersonal and intrapersonal attitudes of 9-10-year-old students (third grade). The study covered a total group of 68 participants recruited using purposeful sampling. Results show that both the group of children with speech sounds in errors and the comparative group of students without such errors obtained similar average results. These outcomes are in line with recent studies showing that the magnitude of the RSEs impact is highly individualized, and pointed a need for further investigations to evaluate the impact of RSEs on primary students’ everyday lives and educational performance.
