This SIG 1 Perspectives activity focuses on three types of language sample analysis (LSA) and best practices for conducting these utilizing the Computerized Language Analysis (CLAN), Systematic Analysis of Language Transcriptions (SALT), and Sampling Utterances and Grammatical Analysis Revised (SUGAR). The first article discusses how the CLAN can be utilized to provide thorough LSA and how the results can be utilized to structure therapy goals. The second article describes how SALT can assist with the accurate identification of children with language disorders and provides a toolkit to assist SLPs with providing a comprehensive language assessment. The final article provides step-by-step instructions on the use of SUGAR and how analysis can be used to both document the presence of a language impairment and to develop relevant intervention targets.

  • download and install CLAN software to transcribe and perform LSA
  • explain why language sample elicitation methods are appropriate and connect the measures to appropriate dimensions of discourse
