NDP3® Assessment HCE transcription

Australian Speech Pathologists are increasingly using the Harrington, Cox and Evans (HCE) (1997) transcription system in preference to the Mitchell (1946) transcription system, for describing Australian English. We are therefore pleased to provide a phonemic transcription of the NDP3 Assessment single vowels, words, phrases and sentences for a typical Australian adult speaker, using the HCE system. The document is a 5-page PDF.

Acknowledgements

We are very grateful to Felicity Laurence, Certified Practising Speech Pathologist from Tasmania, and to Professor Felicity Cox, Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University, New South Wales, for their help in this matter.

Binders 3-5 – Now includes revised oro-motor advice and exercises.

The binders include over 500 structured photocopiable therapy worksheets, featuring child-friendly designs and presentations and additional therapy sections. The worksheets are organised into different levels: single sounds, C+V /V+C, CV, CVCV, CVC, multisyllabic words, clusters, phrase and clause word combinations and from sentence level to connected speech. Blank worksheets are also provided to give clinicians flexibility to design their own worksheets, specific to an individual child’s profile of difficulties.

Therapy cards – new packaging: Incorporates an easy-to-use engineered box, with lid, containing four sets of 478 cards (1,912 cards in total). Now also includes durable laminated dividers (vowel, consonant, CV, CVC, etc).

Above: Seven 20-page Assessment flip-books: CV/VC, CVC, CVCV, Multisyllabic, Consonant clusters, Phrases and Sentences and “Visit to the Zoo” story re-tell. Laminated for durability. Also available as a separate item.

NEW for 2024 – “Visit to the Zoo” – this story re-tell is a 159-word, 8-page story of a family trip to the zoo. It is an additional assessment of connected speech (beyond the imitation of phrases and sentences) for therapists to use as an observational exercise.

The story is read to the child, while showing the flip-book pictures. The child is then encouraged to re-tell the story using the pictures as a prompt. The child’s responses are transcribed onto the Assessment forms – live or from an audio recording. The connected speech checklist (on the next page of the Assessment) can be used to describe the child’s connected speech and to rate severity.

All NDP3 Assessment packs – within NDP3 Complete or as separate items – now include the “Visit to the Zoo” story re-tell. The Zoo flip-book only plus the updated Assessment, is available as a separate item for therapists who wish to update their existing NDP3 Speech Assessment pack.

Above: Articulogram cards: 42 double-sided vowel and consonant cards in colour. Laminated for durability. Also available as a separate item.
