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.
