l7* Flashcards
collecting a connected speech sample allows for the clinician to sample the clients …
phonological and articulation skills in the more natural context of conversation
Speech samples allow for:
Traditional analysis
Phonological pattern analysis
Phonetic inventory
Syllable structure analysis
Speech intelligibility analysis
Consistency analysis
Whole-word measures
Percentage of consonants correct
whats the purpose of collecting a speech sample
find out what interests the child.
what kind of toys for collecting a speech sample
games, books, etc. to use during the speech sample
how to ask a child for collecting a speech sample
open ended questions: Tell me about your favorite movie or book, how do you play (favorite sport or
game), tell me about your day, tell me what Barbie is wearing, etc.
Describe an object/activity
Retell a story
Naturalistic conversation
evoke sounds
how to help a child to comfortable
Use family members to help a child become comfortable
collecting a connected speech sample collect how many utterances at least
50 utterances
Gloss
the client’s statements that are more unintelligible.
A restatement of what the client was attempting to say.
Allows for the target production to be known to the clinician
when listening to the tape at a later time
when collecting a sample make sure to what
make notes during the actual collection of
the sample of any alterations to phoneme production as
these may not be heard on audio tape.
collecting a connected speech sample transcribe the sample then
selects the degree of phonetic detail of what
May be appropriate to use:
broad phonetic transcription: t/k, f/θ, w/l
or
narrow phonetic transcription: use of diacritic markers to
(i.e., lateralized phonemes [˰])
advantage of connected speech sample
More representative of the
client’s everyday speech.
Allows for multiple incidences of the phonemes, syllable shapes, phonological processes
Allows for multiple analyses:
phonetic inventory, regularity of
errors, intelligibility, etc.
the disadvantages of speech sample
-Very time consuming.
Client may be reluctant to
speak.
A highly unintelligible child may pose difficulties during the
analysis.
Stimulability
quick assessment
-the client’s ability to demonstrate an improved
target of a previously misarticulated sound when provided with brief training.
-coming on its own
Contextual testing:
aids in isolating facilitative contexts for the
correct production of a phoneme.
what does stimulability include
-included in some standardized testing procedures.
- May be informal.
- May be accomplished with possible therapy targets.
- May be accomplished at various linguistic levels.
-May include: models, instructions, tactile cues, etc.
-Most often done in sounds and syllables, but can accomplish in
words or sentence
contextual testing include
Facilitative phonetic context: surrounding sound(s) that have a positive influence on a sound in error.
This helps to identify treatment targets and establish production.
McDonald (1964) helped to establish the importance of contextual
testing.
Developed the Deep Test of Articulation.
Each consonant is tested in approximately 40-60 phonetic contexts.
More commonly used contextual measures:
1. The Secord Contextual Articulation Tests (S-CAT)
2. The Entire World Of R Advanced Screening
Supplements traditional articulation tests by providing more in depth
analysis of sounds in error.
