Spanish Articulation Measures
Ages 3 and up. This instrument can be used to assess consonant production and use of phonological processes in Spanish. The instrument includes a variety of types of assessment measures, making it possible to use the instrument both for screening and diagnostic purposes. Section 1 of he instrument is divided into four sections:
- Spontaneous Word Production Task. This measure is administered to assess production of consonants, clusters, and the child's use of phonological processes. Performance is assessed as the individual labels pictures. Space for transcribing responses is included on the record form.
- Word Repetition Articulation Screening. This task is administered to assess consonant production as the student repeats words read by the examiner. The task can be used by bilingual teachers or paraprofessionals in classroom screening programs.
- Sound Stimulability in Syllables. This measure is administered to assess the imitative production of consonants in syllables when a model is presented by the examiner.
- Articulation in Conversational Speech. This measure is administered to measure articulation during conversation with an adult or peer.
Section 2 of the inventory includes criterion-referenced probes designed for use in assessing aspects of the student's spontaneous speech production. Individual tasks are included for assessing stridents, nasals, velars, lingua-dentals, flaps, and specific consonant phonemes. Performance is assessed as the child labels pictures or as the child makes up sentences describing pictures.
Section 3 include 21 word-repetition tasks . Each of the 10 item probes is used to obtain information about a specific consonant or consonant group (e.g., cluster).
The specific tasks used will vary depending on the purpose of the assessment. It is not necessary to administer every task within the inventory. The instrument may be adapted, as necessary, for local use.
Normative information is reported from the literature. By using the test data in conjunction with information from communication samples, the results are valuable in identifying specific learning needs and in planning intervention programs.
Research related to the Spanish-speaking child's acquisition of phonology is summarized to facilitate interpretation of test results. Suggestions for distinguishing "differences" from "disorders" are described in the manual. The manual includes a variety of reproducible assessment record forms.
