What is the DEAP speech assessment?

Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP) evaluates articulation and phonological process using a Diagnostic Screen, a diagnostic Articulation Assessment, a diagnostic Phonology Assessment (with a phonological analysis), and an Oral Motor Screen.

How long does the DEAP assessment take?

5 minutes
The screening test of the DEAP takes on average 5 minutes to administer, and the test battery in full generally takes c. 30-40 minutes to administer (depending on the child).

How do you score the DEAP?

As a whole, the DEAP scoring process is detailed but helpful to provide information about the child’s articulation and phonology. To score the phonology subtest, add up the total number of errors in each column. Record the percentages for each error. These percentages can be found on the table in the record form.

What age is the DEAP for?

The DEAP is an assessment standardised for differential diagnosis of SSD on a population of children aged between 3;0 and 6;11. It includes 6 assessments and used in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland.

When should Deaffrication be eliminated?

Selected Phonological Processes (Patterns)*

Assimilation (Consonant Harmony) One sound becomes the same or similar to another sound in the word
Process Description Likely Age of Elimination**
Gliding liquid (/r/, /l/) is replaced with a glide (/w/, /j/) 6–7
Deaffrication affricate is replaced with a fricative 4

What is deep test of articulation?

They are used to evaluate the different speech sounds in different contexts. Further, the deep test of articulation helps to identify the different contexts in which a target sound can be produced correctly.

What is the clear assessment?

In the CLEAR Phonology Screening Assessment, each phoneme is tested individually in word initial, medial and final positions. A wide range of initial clusters are also tested. The phonemes are arranged on the form to reflect a general developmental order of acquisition.

When should fronting be eliminated?

Fronting is typically eliminated when a child reaches three years and six months (3;6). If your child is continuing to demonstrate the phonological process of fronting beyond the age of 4, it is recommended that you contact a speech-language pathologist.

What are three types of articulation disorders?

SODA stands for Substitution, Omission, Distortion, and Addition.

  • SUBSTITUTION-occurs when a sound is substituted for one they can not make yet.
  • OMISSION-occurs when a sound is left out that is too hard.
  • DISTORTION-occurs when the sound is not left out or substituted but does not sound right.

What is photo articulation test?

The Photo Articulation Test-Third Edition (PAT-3) is a completely revised edition of the popular Photo Articulation Test. It meets the nationally recognized need for a standardized way to document the presence of articulation errors. The test consists of 72 color photographs (9 photos on each of eight sheets).

What is the importance of assessment criteria?

The purpose of assessment criteria is to establish clear and unambiguous standards of achievement for each learning outcome. They should describe what the learner is expected to do to show that the learning outcome has been achieved.

How is the DEAP used to diagnose articulation problems?

The DEAP detects and differentiates between articulation problems, delayed phonology and consistent versus inconsistent phonological disorder. The DEAP is time and cost effective. The assessment provides an evidence base for clinical management decisions and guides selection of therapy targets and therapy type for effective intervention.

What is the DEAP Diagnostic evaluation of phonology?

Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP) evaluates articulation and phonological process using a Diagnostic Screen, a diagnostic Articulation Assessment, a diagnostic Phonology Assessment (with a phonological analysis), and an Oral Motor Screen. Please note that the item can still be purchased.

What do you need to know about the DEAP?

The DEAP includes a Diagnostic Screen, a diagnostic Articulation Assessment, a diagnostic Phonology Assessment (with a phonological analysis), and an Oral Motor Screen. Use it in conjunction with CELF-4, PLS-4, or another comprehensive language test to obtain a complete understanding of a child’s speech and language ability.

How to diagnose articulation and phonology in children?
