Abstract

This study was undertaken to compare three procedures used in phonological process analysis: Natural Process Analysis (Shriberg & Kwiatkowski, 1980), The Assessment of Phonological Processes (Hodson, 1980) and Procedures for Phonological Analysis of Children's Language (Ingram, 1981). Questions that are likely to occur to the speech-language pathologist as a potential user of these tests were investigated: (a) Does the type of speech sample alter results? (b) Do different analysis procedures identify different arrays of processes for a child? and (c) How much time is required for administration? Although only three subjects were evaluated the results suggest that any of the procedures would identify essentially the same phonological processes as remediation targets. Factors other than these results, therefore, may have greater influence on the user's selection of an analysis procedure.
