SPA 6204 Critical Assignment #2 Instructions
Watch the above youtube video of a child. Answer all questions. Be aware that
this child does not speak English with an American accent – be sure to indicate if
you think any differences in her speech are due to accent/dialect.
1. Provide a paragraph regarding background information on the child. This
paragraph will be hypothetical (use your imagination). Include pertinent
information that would normally be included in an introduction paragraph,
such as birth and medical information.
2. (This section should include a chart with IPA transcription, required
calculations and a paragraph(s) discussing the errors made and the
information that is requested). Provide a description of all the speech sound
errors you observed from the words produced. If a word is attempted more
than once, make note of all attempts.
a. Make a chart listing each word (the target) and it’s actual production
both in graphemes and IPA and list phonological process present or
significant substitutions, etc (example provided below).
b. Although this was a very short sample, the targets are known so you
should be able to break down the errors for each segment/syllable and
identify any frequently occurring processes.
c. For any sounds that you cannot transcribe you can state that they
were distorted or unintelligible.
d. State whether these errors are expected or not expected for her age
and whether they were typical or atypical substitutions.
e. In addition you should describe the way her articulators are moving
even if you cannot state what exact phoneme she is making (e.g., is
she even able to get her lips to touch for a bilabial?, what are her jaw
movements like?) You should also complete a PCC analysis and
percent words correct analysis. Discuss how intelligible you judge her
to be and how this corresponds with her age (assume that she is 4.9
years old) and how well you think her speech above the one word level
might be understood.

3. Describe what formal and informal testing procedures you would use (taking
into account the attention span of a 4-year-old). This video has been
provided to you by the parent perhaps, but you also have to do your own
testing. Provide hypothetical results from these tests. This does not have to
be in the form of exact scores, but rather something like 2.0 standard
deviations below the mean or demonstrates a severe delay, etc. Make sure
to describe things like whether or not the child was able to imitate your
models or if she benefited from any verbal, visual, or tactile cueing. Discuss
what a likely diagnosis might be. You must also provide a rationale for why
you chose the assessment procedures that you chose and describe each step
of the evaluation as you proceed. (I do not recommend using more than one
standardized test).
4. State at least 10 questions that you would ask during the parent interview
portion of the evaluation, state what your rationale is for asking them, and
provide the hypothetical answers.
5. Discuss what issues you think might be addressed first in future therapy. You
can pick 2 issues that you think the SLP should address, and write a goal.
You can use a format like ‘client will use the /s/ sound in two-word phrases in
90% of opportunities’ or ‘client will decrease the use of final consonant
deletion to only one time per session’. These are just examples of possible
goal structures. You can use whichever type of structure you think is
appropriate for this child and of course can change the sound/process/word
level, etc.
