Speech pronunciation disorders in German language is the main reason why children come to speech therapist office. The majority is between the age of 3-6, it presents 16% of the population (Fox-Boyer, 2014a). The basic method for assessing the specification of their speech impairment is the "Dodd" classification model (1995, 2005). This method analysis whether the impairment is caused by phonetic disability, phonological retardation or consequent or non-consecvent phonological disability. The psycho-linquistical method of child speech impairment analyses (PLAKSS-II, Fox- Boyer, 2014b) is based on a reliable exercise of naming pictures that are, in the German language used to examine the quality of pronunciation. In the therapy, there are two different approaches, motorical and phonological. The common method is the Psycho-linquistical oriented phonological therapy (P.O.P.T., Fox-Boyer, 2014c). This method takes, when analysing the impairment, the Steakhouse and Wellse model into account (1997).
