Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Children aged 2
0-5
11 years with no suspected speech sound disorder were assessed with an inconsistency test/speech screening and tasks for non-word repetition, stimulability of phones and articulatory diadochokinesis
cross-sectional (N = 351) and longuitudinal (N = 302) testing
Group 2: Children with diagnosed speech sound disorders aged 3
0 years to school entry (~ 6 years) were assessed with an inconsistency test and a phonology assessment, and tasks for non-word repetition, stimulability of phones and articulatory diadochokinesis
cross-sectional testing (N = 143)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is to gather developmental data from typically developing children for three newly designed (non-word repetition, stimulability of phones and articulatory diadochokinesis) and one revised (inconsistency test) speech assessments at various testing points (initial assessment (T1), retest reliability after 6-14 days, and follow-up after three/six/nine months - depending on age at T1). Additionally, the reliability (retest and inter-rater reliability) of the assessments will be evaluated. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome is the investigation on suitability of these assessment tasks for early identification of speech sound disorders (predictive validity) and differential diagnosis of various subtypes of speech sound disorders (diagnostic validity). Furthermore, it will be investigated which scoring criteria within the assessment tasks will exhibit the strongest explanatory power. | — |
