Assessing Phonological Processes

Author(s):

Autism Priority Project

Description:

This is the second webshop on the topic of phonological processes. In this webshop, speech language pathologists can explore how to assess phonological processes in children, particularly those with multiple speech sound errors and low speech intelligibility. Further, SLPs can learn how to use comprehensive evaluation to help gain a picture of how the disorder may be affecting the child and to gather information to plan for remediation. The information presented can be considered a basic introduction for SLPs who are unfamiliar with phonological processes and as a review and update for those who have had training in this area.
