Balanced sentence lists as a tool in speech therapy

Summary/Abstract: Despite early diagnostics and application of hearing aids, results of research prove that speech is developed differently in the case of children with hearing impairment than it is in the case of their hearing peers. Therefore, it is important to continuously monitor the hearing level and linguistic development of such children as well as to provide practise under the guidance of a speech therapist. Sentence tests serve this purpose in audiology and speech therapy. The existing tests were developed with the so-called intuitive method. The sentence tests presented in this paper were built with the use of up-to-date results of linguistic research and frequency lists such that the linguistic material included there was balanced in terms of lexis, morphology and syntax. Pilot research proved that a linguistically balanced tool was developed to enable not only a hearing training but also the monitoring of a given patient’s progress. Further research performed by the team will include i.a. linguistic material recording, tool standardisation and practical testing.
