Pre-school articulation test to assess velopharyngeal competency: normative data.

D R Van Demark, S L Swickard

    The Cleft Palate Journal
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study developed a new articulation test to identify velopharyngeal incompetency in young children. The test uses /p/ and /b/ sounds to assess speech, with validity currently under evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Pediatric Audiology

    Background:

    • Velopharyngeal incompetency (VPI) affects speech production in children.
    • Accurate diagnostic tools are crucial for early intervention in pediatric speech disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a discriminating articulation test for identifying velopharyngeal incompetency in young children.
    • To establish normative data for a speech test in a pediatric population.

    Main Methods:

    • Selection of 50 words containing /p/ and /b/ sounds.
    • Collection of normative data from children aged approximately 3.5 years.
    • Reduction of the word list to a 25-word base test based on collected responses.

    Main Results:

    • A 25-word articulation test was selected from an initial pool of 50 words.
    • Normative data were collected from children around 3.5 years of age.
    • The test's discriminating ability for velopharyngeal incompetency is under investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • A new articulation test has been developed for assessing velopharyngeal incompetency in young children.
    • Further research is needed to determine the test's validity and clinical utility.
