PETAL: Phonological Evaluation & Transcription of Audio-Visual Language

by Ann Parker, Speech & Language Therapist

PETAL is a tool for describing speech production patterns of children and adults in relation to factors which may enhance or impede speech intelligibility.

Full Description:   

Purpose
Detailed assessment, related to intelligibility and communicative context, of the phonetic and phonological features of the speech of an individual speaker, who may be deaf and/or have difficulties with speech production and intelligibility which are related to other causes and contexts.

Results
Detailed description and summary of speech production patterns (related to the speaker's linguistic context, communication requirements and general language skills, as assessed separately, with other procedures if necessary) focusing on phonetic and phonological levels, auditory and visual cues to intelligibility and overall features such as voice quality, pitch and loudness as well as linguistically contrastive features such as intonation, vowel and consonant systems and their phonetic realizations. Comparison if relevant with previous assessment results.

    Examples of use of results
  • Evidence of progress in speech development
  • Description of interrelationships with other relevant forms of communication
  • Decision about whether or not intervention is appropriate at this stage
  • Decision about focus for planned intervention with speech patterns themselves, the communicative environment, the skills of listeners, or a combination
  • Planning of the particular focus and structure of speech intervention
  • Assessment of results of previous/current interventions (or non-intervention)
  • Evidence contributing to decisions about policy and resources needed for groups of children and adults
    Stages of assessment
  • Recording with simultaneous transcription: standard sections and selected additional material
  • Further listening, data organization and analysis
  • Description of results and summary of findings in standard format
  • Comparison with previous and other assessment results, if relevant
  • Use of results for relevant decisions
