Enhancing Child Speech Therapy Outcomes Using Normative Values for Competing Speech Tests

Enhancing Child Speech Therapy Outcomes Using Normative Values for Competing Speech Tests

As a practitioner dedicated to improving speech therapy outcomes for children, staying informed about the latest research and its practical applications is crucial. The study titled tude des valeurs normatives des tests dcoute de parole en comptition auprs denfants dge scolaire francophones offers valuable insights that can enhance your practice. This research establishes normative values for two speech tests adapted to French: the Synthetic Sentence Identification - Ipsilateral Competing Message (SSI-ICM) and the Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) tests.

The study involved 44 and 45 children aged six to eleven years, divided into five age groups. These children were tested using the SSI-ICM and SSW tests, and their performances were compared to those of 68 children from a previous study. The results revealed significant differences in performance based on age and specific test conditions, providing a robust set of normative data.

Key Findings and Practical Applications

Implementing These Findings in Your Practice

By incorporating these normative values into your practice, you can better assess and tailor interventions for children with speech and language difficulties. Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Use Age-Specific Norms: Apply the normative values from the study to evaluate children's performance accurately, taking their age into account.
  2. Identify Auditory Processing Challenges: Use the SSI-ICM and SSW tests to pinpoint specific auditory processing difficulties, especially in younger children who may struggle with simultaneous word presentations.
  3. Tailor Interventions: Develop targeted interventions based on the identified areas of difficulty, using the normative data to set realistic and achievable goals for each child.
