Objective:
To develop and standardize a phonetic-phonological test (Teste Fonético-Fonológico-Avaliação da Linguagem Pré-Escolar, TFF-ALPE) for the assessment of European-Portuguese (EP) children's articulation and phonological abilities.
Patients And Methods:
In order to standardize TFF-ALPE, 768 children aged 3;0-6;11 participated in this study. The standardization, validity and reliability of TFF-ALPE were analyzed.
Results:
TFF-ALPE presents strong cohesion and has strong inter- and intrajudge reliability. There was also a strong correlation between the TFF-ALPE data and those obtained in other studies. The content validity was demonstrated by the description of the test domain and the items that comprise TFF-ALPE.
Conclusion:
TFF-ALPE is a valid and reliable phonetic-phonological assessment instrument that speech-language pathologists can use with EP-speaking children.
