Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses extensions to the Speech Disorders Classification System (SDCS) for classifying pediatric speech sound disorders, focusing on using perceptual and acoustic data.
- The reliability of two perceptual methods (narrow phonetic transcription and prosody-voice coding) and acoustic analysis was tested on speech samples from 10 speakers—five with significant motor speech disorders and five with typical speech.
- Findings showed high agreement percentages for both perceptual methods and acoustic tasks, supporting the effectiveness of the SDCS for evaluating speech competence, precision, and stability.

Article Synopsis
- The report presents three extensions to the Speech Disorders Classification System (SDCS) aimed at improving the diagnosis of pediatric speech sound disorders, including distinguishing between motor speech disorders and speech delays.
- Part I focuses on classifying different sub-types of motor speech disorders, while Part II showcases the Madison Speech Assessment Protocol (MSAP), a comprehensive 2-hour assessment involving 25 measures.
- Part III introduces the Competence, Precision, and Stability Analytics (CPSA) framework, which utilizes around 90 indices to help quantify and classify Speech Sound Disorders (SSD), highlighting the reliability of the SDCS methods alongside a companion paper that supports their effectiveness in diagnostics.
