Abstract

Background: The audiologic assessment guidelines of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) encouraged functional auditory skills assessment, appropriate for age. The Auditory Skills Checklist (ASC) assessment tool was developed from the necessity to assess the auditory skills of young children with Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL). The aim of this study was to adapt a Bengali version of the ASC checklist from the original English version and then to test its reliability and validity. Methods: The method of forward-backward translation and cognitive debriefing was employed to produce a culturally sensitive Bengali version of the checklist. The data was analyzed for the internal consistency of items, inter-rater agreement of items, temporal reliability, and convergent validity. Results: The adapted Bengali version of the ASC produced excellent internal consistency (Checklist total = Cronbach’s alpha 0.980 and domain specific Cronbach’s alpha of 0.958, 0.921, 0.908 and 0.932 respectively), substantial level of inter-rater agreement (κ = 0.668 to 0.845 and p < 0.01), excellent temporal reliability (ICC 0.974 and p < 0.01) and convergent validity (AVE > 0.5). Conclusion: The adapted version of the ASC showed excellent reliability and validity to facilitate functional auditory skills assessment and intervention.

Abstract

evelopment of phonotactic competency in various contexts of phonological constituents is a prerequisite of effective speech-language competency in the native language. This study aims to explore the phonotactic competency of Bengali-speaking children with and without speech-language impairment. A mixed-method approach exploring the nature of phonotactic competency and differences among those competencies was undertaken. A total of 80 children with typical development (20), autism spectrum disorder (20), down syndrome (20), and language delay (20) were recruited for this study. Typically developing participants statistically outperformed (p< .05) others regarding the production of ranges of syllable structure, clusters, and consonant types, while significant (p< .05) within and between group variability was accounted for in the other groups. Variations in the simplification processes of cluster production and error types across syllable positions were also observed. The findings of the study may facilitate the understanding of phonological development patterns of the study population, suggesting the inclusion of varied cluster simplification patterns to assess phonotactic competence.
