“…There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, with knowledge of the stimuli being particularly advantageous when rating highly unintelligible speech (Flipsen 1995, Pascoe et al 2006, Baudonck et al 2009). Word identification tasks have the advantage over rating scales of having high validity (Kwiatkowski and Shriberg 1992), however, the main disadvantage of this method is that the transcription involved is time consuming and not always possible for severely unintelligible speech when target words are not known (Kwiatkowski and Shriberg 1992, Konst et al 2000, Klein and Flint 2006, Pascoe et al 2006, Ertmer 2010.…”

“…The type of substitution influences on speech intelligibility 19 and on the severity level of the phonological disorders Knowing the types of substitution a child makes is essential, specially to begin the Speech Therapy intervention. It is believed that the type and quantity of substitutions can help measure the severity level of the phonological disorders.…”

. The concept of Model is an analytical structure which studies the relationships among a number of variables. It is composed by hypotheses which are the foundation for the extraction of implications and predictions. To be useful, the model has to present a simplified and abstract version of the reality 6 . On a study 5 , a Fuzzy Linguistic Model was developed in order to classify the severity level of the phonological disorders regarding quantity. The theoretical foundation was based on the Features Complexity Implicational Model (FCIM) 7,8 . The mathematical models, as the one from this study 5 , are built from a well-known and widely studied mathematical theory. When it is efficient, the model allows researchers to elaborate predictions, ABSTRACT Purpose: to check if the criteria adopted from the Fuzzy Linguistic Model to classify the severity of Phonological Disorder (PD) are employed in the practice of speech and language therapists and whether they are in conformity with the purpose of such model. It is furthermore intended to analyze the acquiescence between PD severity classified by the Model and the one deemed by speech and language therapists and check the main difficulties. Method: the study included two samples. The first one was comprised of a representative number of deviating phonological systems (n=52) and classified by the Model when it was proposed. The second one comprised two groups of speech and language therapists GF-I and GF-II. The speech and language therapists were asked to deem the severity of deviating in phonological systems, mapped in the Implicational Model of Feature Complexity -MICT as Severe, Moderate-Severe, Moderate-Mild, and Mild. Next, criteria and main difficulties were described in a questionnaire. Kappa statistics was used, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: the criteria used in the proposal were generally used by GF-I and considered as adequate by GF-II. There was an acquiescence between classification of severity obtained by the Model and the one deemed by the speech and language therapists. The most frequently reported difficulty was distinguishing between intermediate degrees. Conclusions: the Fuzzy Linguistic Model criteria are used to classify PD severity when based on MICT. Furthermore, the criteria are in acquiescence with the purpose of the Model. Due to the difficulties, other forms of classifying severity can be added in order to characterize PD over other major aspects.
