A school head teacher recently contacted us to discuss purchasing resources for pupils with communication difficulties. She felt a particular problem facing teaching staff was obtaining some kind of assessment for children with delayed or disordered speech sound development.
Although we always recommend that a specialist assessment is carried out by a Speech and Language Therapist, we were happy to suggest our popular resource ... The Speech Sound Inventory (SSI).
The SSI provides teachers and therapists with the means to record, and make sense of exactly what errors the child is making in their speech sound production.
Its quick to administer, includes recording sheets and offers lots of advice and information on how to interpret the outcome of the measure ... for example, is the child making all sounds at the back of the mouth ... daddy = gaggy ... or are they stopping long sounds ... sun= 'dun' feather = 'dedda' etc.
The SSI is also useful for measuring progress if repeated every 8-12 weeks.
So if you are looking for a quick and easy way of obtaining information on how to assist a child who is struggling to make themselves understood this is an ideal tool.
