NARRATIVE REPORT

The Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation-Third Edition (GFTA-3) is a systematic means of assessing an individual’s
articulation of the consonant and consonant cluster sounds of Standard American English. It provides information about an
individual’s speech sound ability by sampling both spontaneous and imitative sound production in single words and
connected speech. GFTA-3 provides age-based normative scores separately for females and males for the Sounds-in-Words
and Sounds-in-Sentences tests. Intelligibility is reported as a percentage score, and Stimulability information is reported in
table format.

Sounds-in-Words
The Sounds-in-Words test is used to evaluate an individual's articulation skill when labeling single words. The examiner
presents a picture stimuli for the individual to label. The examiner scores each consonant and consonant cluster sound in the
word as a correct or incorrect production. This test has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Lawrence Fristoe received a standard score of 75 (confidence interval = 70 to 82, percentile rank = 5) on the Sounds-in-
Words test. When compared to peers of the same age and gender, Lawrence uses more sound change errors which results
in a score that is in the low/moderate range.

Sounds-in-Sentences
The Sounds-in-Sentences test is used to evaluate an individual’s articulation skill when producing words in connected
speech. The individual listens as the examiner tells a short story that is accompanied by visual stimuli. After the initial retelling
of the story, the examiner presents each sentence again, and the individual repeats the sentence. The examiner scores each
consonant and consonant cluster sound in the targeted words from each sentence as a correct or incorrect production. This
test has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Lawrence received a standard score of 81 (confidence interval = 75 to 89, percentile rank = 10) on the Sounds-in-Sentences
test. When compared to peers of the same age and gender, Lawrence uses more sound change errors which results in a
score that is in the borderline/marginal/at-risk range.

Intelligibility
The Intelligibility rating is used to evaluate an individual’s intelligibility in connected speech. During administration of the
Sounds-in-Sentences test, the examiner listens to each sentence the individual repeats and rates the individual’s intelligibility
for that sentence as 1 (good), 2 (fair), 3 (poor), or 4 (no response). This measure reports the percentage of individuals, by
age, who received an overall rating of 90% "good" ratings.

Lawrence's connected speech was rated as "good" in 90% of his productions.

Stimulability
The Stimulability measure is designed to assess the sounds that were misarticulated during administration of the Sounds-
in-Words test and/or Sounds-in-Sentences test. For the misarticulated sounds, the examiner produces them in a syllable,
word, and sentence context, and the individual imitates the examiner’s productions.

Lawrence's Stimulability results are indicated in the following table.
