Dear Sofia and Rachel
Especially in the acoustic conditions of schools, clinics, hospitals, health centres and so on, typically with almost bare walls, very hard surfaces and many rooms almost cubic (a bad combination for sound recording), you may find that mic placement is something to bear in mind. There is what seems to me some useful information here – http://bartus.org/akustyk/mic_placement.php. If the mic is built in, the child can pretend to be talking on a mobile. That should get the mic to within about a centimetre from the lips and keep the mic placement reasonably constant.

I think the biggest drawback is the quality of the recordings and the resulting distortion of speech - accurate discrimination can be difficutl. Possibly with a bigger recorder it would be better, but I have to move between schools frequently and so I carry a voice recorder that is smaller than a mobile phone in my handbag all of the time.
