This study focuses on two of the most common methods for measuring speech intelligibility in children in clinical practice and in research: orthographic transcription measures and parent-reported ratings as measured by the Intelligibility in Context Scale https://on.asha.org/4n2yIqR

Ever wondered, 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES about the relationship b/n individual Intelligibility in Context item scores & orthographic transcription intelligibility scores within age bands? pubs.asha.org/doi/full/10.... @ashajournals.bsky.social @tjmahr.com @katieh-wisc.bsky.social @sharynnemcleod.bsky.social
