Single word test of consonant clusters Sharynne McLeod & Linda Hand School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, The University of Sydney, 1991 This task was designed to assess productions of consonant clusters in a single word context.

This task was designed to assess productions of consonant clusters in a single word context. It is suitable for use with children aged 3;0 years and older. It also may be suitable for the assessment of consonant clusters in adults. The task contains seventy two words which comprise two examples of each word-initial and word-final consonant cluster commonly used by Australian adults. Two words containing each cluster are elicited in order to determine consistency of production. Elicit the seventy two words by showing a child photographs or illustrations of each word. A four stage cuing hierarchy may be used: (1) question cue "What's this?"; (2) If the children do not respond, give a clue to help identify the word; (3) If the children still do not respond, give a binary choice with the target word first, for example, "Is it a snail or a dog?"; (4) If the children still do not respond ask for a delayed imitation of the word, for example, "It's a snail.
