Abstract: Diagnosing Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs) is a frequently discussed topic due to its complexity. Classifying SSDs based on symptoms does not always provide a clear answer to the therapy to be followed, because there is a lot of overlap in symptoms between the different SSDs. In addition, it is important to see which testinstruments are suitable for diagnosis. The different tests look at different elements in the speech process. Using process-orientated diagnostics might support diagnosing and provide starting points for effective treatment. In this case study, the difference in diagnosis and treatment for SSDs is discussed when this is done based on symptom diagnostics or on process-orientated diagnostics.
