Background:
Phonological disorder.
Aim:
To apply the percentage of correct consonant (PCC) index and to verify the correlation between this index and the one applied perceptually by judges.
Method:
The PCC index of 50 phonological disordered subjects was calculated, after 60 judges heard the phonological tests for each subject and perceptually attributed the severity.
Results:
The PCC index varied from 40% to 98%, with the predominant classification of the population in the mild and mild-moderate levels.
Conclusion:
A correlation between the perceptual judgment and the PCC indexes exists.
