Speech assessments

Speech-language pathologists frequently use single word and connected speech tests to assess children's speech production.

The table below includes published tests and word lists that can be used to assess children's articulation and phonology in languages other than English.

The aim is to be as comprehensive as possible in the table below. Inclusion in the table does not indicate endorsement or guarantee availability of an assessment. Some assessments can only be purchased by people who live in the country of publication, after attending a seminar, or upon providing professional qualifications.

A review of some of the commercially available tests from the list below is here:

McLeod, S., & Verdon, S. (2014). A review of 30 speech assessments in 19 languages other than English. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 23(4), 708-723. doi: 10.1044/2014_AJSLP-13-0066

If you know of additional tests or word lists please contact us.

In addition to the assessments listed below, the Intelligibility in Context Scale is available in a range of languages.
