  1. Assessment Procedures for Children with Speech Sound Disorders

  2. I. INTRODUCTION • Assessment—process that is followed and procedures that are used to establish the presence or absence of a disorder • Diagnosis • 1) • 2)

  3. II. SPEECH SCREENINGS • Screening: pass/fail procedure that can be conducted quickly with large numbers of clients • There will be no info on the test re: specific screening instruments (pp. 295-296)

  4. In the schools… • Put the child on “monitor” status • I say to a kindergarten teacher, e.g.: • “He is still quite young, so I will re-check him again in January. If he still doesn’t technically qualify for speech, I can re-screen him in first grade.”

  5. III. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSMENT • A. Review the Client’s Background • 1. Written case history forms • 2. Information from other professionals • 3. Conduct interview

  6. 1. Written case history forms

  7. 2. Information from other professionals

  8. 3. Conduct an interview

  9. We need to ask:

  10. Close the interview • Recap important points • Be sure to tell the person that you will share test findings with them • Thank them for their time

  11. B. Plan Assessment Session • C. Prepare Testing Area

  12. D. Assess Related Areas • 1. • 2. • 3. • 4. • 5. • 6.

  13. E. Screen language • I usually like to give a receptive vocabulary test • This works well if they are unintelligible

  14. F. Administer Tests

  15. G. Discuss Findings and MakeRecommendations • H. Write Report

  16. IV. HEARING SCREENING • SLPs can screen • In the schools, nurse usually does this • Pure tone air conduction thresholds at 20 or 25 dB • Refer to physician, audiologist if suspect a problem

  17. V. DIADOCHOKINETIC SYLLABLE RATES • DDKs refer to the speed and regularity with which a person produces repetitive articulatory movements • Alternating motion • Sequential motion

  18. In evaluating oral motor coordination, we are looking for:

  19. VI. CONDUCTING AN ORAL PERIPHERAL EXAMINATION • A. Purpose • B. Supplies

  20. C. Assessment of Structure and Function of Facial Muscles • 1. General symmetry of face at rest • 2. Facial symmetry during • 3. Structural integrity of lips

  21. 4. Functional integrity of the lips

  22. D. Assessment of Structure and Function of Tongue • 1. Structural integrity—normal color?

  23. 2. Functional integrity

  24. E. Assessment of Hard Palate

  25. Narrow, high, vaulted hard palate: (normal, thumb sucker)

  26. F. Assessment of Soft Palate

  27. G. Assessment of Teeth • Labioverted • Linguaverted • Malocclusion • Open bite • Cross bite

  28. Tonsils/adenoids

  29. Tonsils/adenoids

  30. More tonsils/adenoids

  31. Swollen tonsils/adenoids

  32. Bifid Uvula

  33. Bifid Uvula

  34. VII. OBTAINING A SPONTANEOUS SAMPLE

  35. Practical tips:

  36. VIII. ADMINISTERING STANDARDIZED TESTS • A. Introduction • Advantages

  37. Disadvantages:

  38. B. Obtaining Responses • Direct vs. delayed imitation • C. Recording Responses 1. Plus/minus technique 2. Whole word transcription

  39. 3. Record type of error: a. Omission (-) b. Substitution t/k, d/g, w/r c. Distortion—D or D1-D3 d. Addition—transcribe whole word

  40. D. Commonly-Used Tests: Phonological Processes • 1. Natural Process Analysis (NPA) (8 PPs) • 2. Assessment Link Between Phonology and Articulation (ALPHA) (50 words; transcribePPs or artic)

  41. 3. Assessment of Phonological Processes- Revised (APPR; Hodson) 2008 March— APP:3 (computerized version too) Severity rating

  42. 4. Bankson-Bernthal Test of Phonology (BBTOP) (80 words; 9 PPs) • 5. Khan-Lewis Phonological Analysis (first give Goldman-Fristoe) (15 PPs) • 6. Phonological Process Analysis (12 PPs) (Weiner)

  43. Our clinic uses the CAAP: • Clinical Assessment of Articulation and Phonology • Youtube—superduperpub (6 minutes)

  44. E. Commonly-used Tests: Articulation • 1. Fisher-Logemann Test of Articulation Competence (PVM) • 2. Photo Articulation Test (PAT:3) • 3. Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation:2 • 4. Templin-Darley (1969!) • 5. Test of Minimal Articulation Competency (TMAC) • 6. Arizona Articulation Proficiency Test

  45. IX. OTHER TYPES OF ASSESSMENT • A. Speech Discrimination Testing • B. Stimulability Testing

  46. C. Contextual Testing • McDonald’s Deep Test • Clinical Probes of Articulation Consistency (CPAC) • Special procedure that can help id a facilitative phonetic context for correct production of a particular phoneme

  47. X. ANALYZING AND INTERPRETING ASSESSMENT INFORMATION • A. Analysis of Speech Sound Production • Independent analysis • **Relational analysis • B. Phonological Knowledge Analysis (not on test)

  48. C. Traditional Analysis • 1. • 2. • D. Developmental Analysis

  49. E. Pattern Analysis • 1. Distinctive Features  • 2. Place-Voice-Manner 
