Speech Sound Disorder (SSD) is one of the most commonly encountered disorders on a speech and language therapist’s caseload.

Transcription skills are central to the identification and analysis of children’s speech disorders. They also support the setting of therapy aims and the tracking of children’s progress in therapy.

Is it time to refresh your transcription skills?

Join us and learn from Dr Sean Pert on the 26th March 📆

Analysis of Child Speech - 📆 26th Feb

The first step in supporting effective clinical decision-making for children with SSD is a phonetically transcribed sample of a child’s speech. For children with moderate to severe SSD, further analysis of their speech is needed.

Regular, repeated transcription and analysis enable SLTs to monitor progress in therapy and change the intervention approach or targets as appropriate.

It also provides evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of intervention and the value of SLT services.
