Teaching · Speech & Language

Every sound in error, sorted, with PCC worked out.

Add each error as you score the test and the consonant counts from a connected sample. The summary groups the errors by sound and type, separates what is stimulable and gives percent consonants correct with its reference range.

Drawn for this page. Each sound in error is logged by where it falls in the word and what the student does instead.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with a code or initials and the assessment date.
  2. Add each sound in error with its position, error type and what the student said.
  3. Try each error sound for stimulability and mark the result.
  4. Record a connected sample, count consonants attempted and correct, and enter both.
  5. Check every error against the student’s dialect or other language before you write it up.

How PCC is worked out

Consonants correct divided by consonants attempted, times 100, from connected speech. Shriberg and Kwiatkowski described ranges of 85 and above as mild, 65 to 85 mild-moderate, 50 to 65 moderate-severe and below 50 severe.

What it is not

The ranges are a reference from research on children with speech delay, not a diagnosis. The organizer applies no age norms and does not decide eligibility.

Difference, not disorder

Patterns that belong to the student’s dialect or come from another language are not errors. ASHA asks clinicians to know the features of the varieties their students speak.
