title: Use of the long vs short form of the speech sounds perception test in a school-age population.
abstract: A sample of 645 school-age children, ages 9 to 14 years, were administered independent forms of the Speech Sounds Perception Test for older children. 328 subjects took the complete test (SSPT-60) and 317 were administered only the first 30 items (SSPT-30). Comparison of mean errors indicated that significantly more errors were made by subjects given the SSPT-30. Decisions regarding the use of each form for school-age children are discussed.
