目的：本研究调查了父母在判断双语儿童言语方面是否可靠，以及父母对儿童言语的评价是否可以用作通用言语筛查的工具，以识别患有言语障碍（SSD）的儿童。方法：对 33 名韩英双语（KEB）学前儿童的单个单词样本进行了辅音正确百分比（PCC）分析。他们的父母完成了语境清晰度量表以及由 Stertzbach 和 Gildersleeve-Neumann 设计的类似构建的量表。使用 Spearman 等级相关性来检验 PCC 分数与家长评分指标之间的关联。结果：许多因素影响家长判断双语孩子言语的可靠性，包括语言优势和所提问题的性质。根据父母的判断，陌生人对孩子言语问题的看法对于识别患有 SSD 的孩子可能具有重要意义。当将之前单语研究得出的 ICS 截止平均分应用于 KEB 儿童时，超过 40% 的样本被确定需要进行全面的临床评估。结论：如果没有进一步的研究，就无法引入利用家长评价的儿童言语测量的通用言语筛查。
Purpose: This study investigated whether parents were reliable in judging their bilingual children's speech and whether parent-rated measure of children's speech could be used as a tool for a universal speech screen to identify children with speech sound disorder (SSD).Method: Single word samples from 33 Korean-English bilingual (KEB) pre-school children were analysed for percentage of consonants correct (PCC). Their parents completed the Intelligibility in Context Scale and a similarly constructed scale devised by Stertzbach and Gildersleeve-Neumann. Spearman rank correlations were used to examine the association between the PCC scores and the parent-rated measures.Result: A number of factors influenced parents' reliability in judging their bilingual children's speech, including language dominance and the nature of the questions that were asked. The perception of strangers on a child's speech problems, as judged by the parents, could be significant in identifying children with SSD. When the cut-off ICS mean score derived from a previous monolingual research was applied to KEB children, over 40% of the sample was identified as requiring a comprehensive clinical assessment.Conclusion: Implementation of a universal speech screen utilising parent-rated measures of children's speech cannot be introduced without further research.
