Refined Operational Definitions for the Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale
Several potential concerns for reliable use of the ASRS were identified and addressed by clarifying the scale procedures and item definitions. We plan to use the updated procedures and definitions in research applications and are sharing them here for further input and potential applications from the research community. Research is needed to evaluate the impact of the changes on diagnostic classification and severity estimation for AOS.
