Considering the importance of auditory information for the acquisition and organization of phonological rules, the assessment of (central) auditory processing contributes to both the diagnosis and targeting of speech therapy in children with speech sound disorders.
To study phonological measures and (central) auditory processing of children with speech sound disorder.
Clinical and experimental study, with 21 subjects with speech sound disorder aged between 7.0 and 9.11 years, divided into two groups according to their (central) auditory processing disorder. The assessment comprised tests of phonology, speech inconsistency, and metalinguistic abilities.
The group with (central) auditory processing disorder demonstrated greater severity of speech sound disorder. The cutoff value obtained for the process density index was the one that best characterized the occurrence of phonological processes for children above 7 years of age.
The comparison among the tests evaluated between the two groups showed differences in some phonological and metalinguistic abilities. Children with an index value above 0.54 demonstrated strong tendencies towards presenting a (central) auditory processing disorder, and this measure was effective to indicate the need for evaluation in children with speech sound disorder.
鉴于听觉信息在语音规则习得和组织中的重要性，（中枢）听觉处理评估有助于语音障碍儿童的言语治疗诊断和目标设定。
研究语音障碍儿童的语音测量和（中枢）听觉处理情况。
临床与实验研究，选取21名年龄在7.0至9.11岁之间的语音障碍儿童，根据其（中枢）听觉处理障碍分为两组。评估包括语音、言语不一致性和元语言能力测试。
（中枢）听觉处理障碍组的语音障碍更为严重。过程密度指数获得的临界值最能表征7岁以上儿童语音过程的发生情况。
两组之间评估的测试比较显示，在一些语音和元语言能力方面存在差异。指数值高于0.54的儿童表现出存在（中枢）听觉处理障碍的强烈倾向，该测量有效地表明了语音障碍儿童需要进行评估。
