Assessment Speech Sound Production Flashcards
assessment of SS production consists of
- case history
- standard/NR assessments
- oral mech
- intelligibility
- severity rating
assessment of speech production includes
- consonant, consonant clusters, vowels and diphthongs, polysyllables, prosody, inconsistency
- stimulability, phonetic inventory
assessment of intelligibility
- determines presence of SSD, need for intervention, whether intervention is effective
- not the same as accuracy
- cannot be adequately measured with an articulation test
- ideal: samples with multiple listeners, settings, and contexts
intelligibility is not the same as accuracy
4 y/o is fully intelligible, but still makes some speech sound errors
single-word intelligibility measure
- low contrast = everything sounds the same
- listener: transcription or multiple-choice
- preschool speech intelligibility measure (PSIM)
preschool speech intelligibility measure (PSIM)
- SLP provides stimuli item and child repeats
- listener guesses word from list of phonological similar words
- quantifies intelligibility at the single word level
intelligibility at the word and syllable level
- syllables perceived as understood (SPU) aka: percent of intelligible correct syllables (PICS)
- calculate the percent syllables understood
- a good choice for, “…those tricky, unintelligible kids where you can’t tell where their words begin and end, this can be a useful way to get an accurate, valid measure of their intelligibility.”
intelligibility at the level of connected speech
- collecting an informal (aka: spontaneous) speech sample
- can also analyze SODA, phonological processes, PMV patterns, and generate phonetic inventory
collecting an informal speech sample
- play-based
- multiple
- narrative
- record, transcribe, generate percentage of intelligibility
play-based
- open-ended questions
- narrative the characters
multiple informal
settings/days/listeners
narrative informal
past personal events
measures of intelligibility at the level of connected speech: context scale
- rating scale for parents
- intelligibility in range of contexts outside of clinical setting
- free in 60 languages
severity rating, percent consonants correct (PCC)
- aides in dx of children with suspected phonological disorders (including Spanish-English bilingual children)
- list > conversation: ideally 75 words
- also can be used to measure progress in kids with phonological disorders and cleft
- PCC = (# of consonants correct/total # of consonants) x 100
