Compendium of Auditory and Speech Tasks investigates input and
output speech processing skills in children with typical and
atypical development. This practical handbook
presents 30 auditory and speech tasks designed for use with the
psycholinguistic framework presented in the first book of this
series (Stackhouse and Wells, 1997);
includes four questionnaire formats for collecting background
information from parents and teachers;
matches items across tasks, permitting detailed profiling of a
client's strengths and weaknesses;
focuses on typical development as a basis for identifying atypical
performance;
summarises research findings from projects which have used these
auditory and speech tasks with a range of participants having a
variety of problems.
Each task has instructions, pictures where appropriate, scoring
procedures and sheets, normative data, a description of typical
performance, and guidelines on interpretation of results. While
most of the normative data are from children from 3-7 years, the
tasks can be used with older children and adolescents with speech
and literacy difficulties; indeed the principles described enable
practitioners to develop tasks for clients of any age. Two chapters
focus on how the tasks and questionnaires can be used to identify
children at risk of persisting speech difficulties and associated
literacy problems, and the final chapter shows how the data can be
used as a basis for planning intervention and for deciding whether
a speech difficulty has really been 'resolved'.
