RE: [phono-tx] RATING OF PHONOLOGICAL DISORDERS

Dear Peter,

I should also state that the uni I graduated from over a year ago has actually changed their first year courses to include the knowledge of independent vs. relational analysis of SSD now, so that will be of great assistance to those going into their clinical practicums in the future.

Wish that we had been given this knowledge in my first year!!!

I also have new grad friends who have moved inter-state and they are learning the same skills because the speech pathologists in their new States are already analysisng very thoroughly.

Cheers

Rachael

Rachel,

The document I was referring to is:

"Guidelines for the roles and responsibilities of the school-based speech-language pathologist."

But I have only a paper copy of the 1999 version. This has been replaced by a 2010 version that is very different. In the 1999 version there was an Appendix G that showed the severity scale. But this is not part of the 2010 document and despite searching extensively it appears that they have deleted the old version. So I can't point you to a link. Sorry.

I'm not surprised that they have deleted the scale. As I mentioned there is no gold standard for assigning severity and the scale in the 1999 document was only "suggested" and only reflected the opinion of the expert panel.

Great Peter, I look forward to reading the ASHA severity guidelines if you can dig them out.
Excuse any of my incorrect terminology, I am a recent graduate and very much still learning.
Having read Caroline's latest text, I am aware that there is a lean towards using the term "speech sound disorder" to encompass both artic and phono. I guess I have been taught to distinguish artic from phono in that articulation is more on a motoric level and phono is more a cognitive/linguistic area.
