A phonetically transcribed representative sample of a child’s speech is the first step to support effective clinical decision-making for children with speech sound disorder (SSD). Moreover, further analysis of child speech is needed for some children with moderate-severe SSD, beyond that supported in published assessments such as the DEAP. This provides SLTs with an in-depth understanding of the child’s phonetic capabilities, phonological skills and productive phonological knowledge (PPK); i.e. specifically how they use sounds in words. Consequently, the findings from this analysis lay the foundation stone for accurate differential diagnosis, and evidence-based selection of appropriate targets and intervention approaches supporting effective and efficient intervention.
