Assessing phoneme discrimination

[Gert Westermann]

Dear Colleagues,

We are conducting a research study on language development in
tracheostomized children (both during and after tracheostomy). As part
of the study we will investigate speech perception, primarily looking at
children’s phonological awareness. Would anyone be able to advise on
whether there are assessments tools (preferably norm-referenced) that
investigate (English-speaking) children’s phoneme discrimination ability
between the ages of 1-4 years old?

I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you,

-- Gert
