Journal Title: International Journal of Psycho-Educational Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the effectiveness of phonological awareness intervention programs. Computerized databases, including ERIC, PubMed, ProQuest Education Journals, and SCOPUS, were searched using the following search strategy: ("phonological awareness”) AND )impairment OR intervention OR training programme). The search was limited to English journal articles. No limitations were set on date of publication. Studies selected for inclusion in this review were required to examine phonological awareness intervention programs for children with disabilities including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Visual Impairments, Down syndrome, Speech and/or Language Impairments, Intellectual Disabilities, Hearing Loss, and Learning/ Reading Disabilities. Overall, available research findings support the use of phonological awareness intervention programs designed for children with disabilities as an effective tool to improve phonological awareness skills. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
