Phonological awareness deficits in children with phonological disorders could be due to a deficit in phonological abilities. The present study attempts to study the phonological awareness deficits in children with phonological disorders.  Materials & Methods: This was a comparative and cross-sectional study. The research sample consisted of 25 children with phonological disorders and 25 normal children. Children with phonological disorders were selected by convenience sampling method and normal children were selected by matching with the disordered group. The research instruments consisted of the “phonetic information test” to determine the phonological disorders and the “phonological awareness test” to assess phonological awareness. The awareness of syllable blending and syllabification, rhyme and alliteration was also studied. The data were analyzed using SPSS-13, based on paired t-test, independent T-test and Chi-square. Results: The mean score of phonological awareness in children with phonological disorders was significantly lower than normal children (P }, URL = {http://rehabilitationj.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-1161-en.html}, eprint = {http://rehabilitationj.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-1161-en.pdf}, journal = {Archives of Rehabilitation}, doi = {}, year = {2013} }
