Purpose: Music is frequently used in the treatment of childhood speech sound disorders (SSD). The prosodic overlap between speech and music is explored to improve both segmental accuracy and prosody in children with SSD. In a pilot study, evaluation of Speech-Music Therapy for Aphasia showed improved speech production at the level of segmental accuracy and intelligibility. However, measures of fluency used in that study were inadequate for evaluating prosody. Method: Two new methods for the evaluation of prosody were developed. The first method was a scale for perceptual judgement of prosody in spontaneous speech through a focus on naturalness. This scale was evaluated and validated in a group of children with and without SSD. The second method was a task for the realisation of lexical stress in non-words. Results: Preliminary results of the evaluation of the prosody judgement scale indicate that the scale discriminates between children with and without SSD. Conclusion: The evaluation of prosody in treatment studies of children with SSD was not possible with existing measures. A newly developed prosody judgement scale is suitable for the assessment of prosody in spontaneous speech. Evaluation of the developed lexical stress task is ongoing. Preliminary results will be ready for presentation.
