Speech sound disorders (SSDs) represent one of the most common communication impairments across pediatric populations, yet SSDs are often considered to be of minor concern compared to other disorders. However, children with SSD are at significant risk for long-term negative outcomes. To mitigate these outcomes, clinicians need updated evidence-based information regarding important treatment factors such as sound/sound-class target selection. 1094 Genetics of Speech Sound Disorders & Co-Morbid Disorders: A New Era of Discovery TH 1:30PM-2:30PM / CC, 255 (Lvl 2) Intermediate; Research AUTHOR(S): Barbara Lewis, Case Western Reserve U; Sudha Iyengar, Case Western Reserve U; Catherine Stein, Case Western Reserve U This seminar will review genetics of speech sound disorders incorporating findings from genome wide association studies, whole genome sequencing, and epigenetic studies.

The application of genetics to clinical practice will be discussed.
