“…The speech, voice, language, feeding and swallowing disorders are quite prevalent with an inflated prevalence among children in the ages of three to six years (11%), in comparison to children with age of 7 to 10 years (9.3%) and children from age 11 to 17 years (4.9%). 17 Hence, the timely identification of all these disorders is vital for children's scrutiny 15 , the routine practice of SLPs working with children is to perform accurate diagnostic evaluations. The appropriate selection of tests to be used as part of a diagnostic evaluation can be critical for providing the best clinical services.…”

“…It is worth noting that children achieve elements of receptive language at a faster rate than expressive language. 3 The ability to communicate using language or the process of development of language consists of three steps. In the first step the child needs exposure to words or sounds repeatedly to become familiar with these sounds or words.…”

“…These test items focused on listening, attention, understanding questions, command following, morphological patterns and deriving simple conclusions. 14 Other tests available in Urdu language including Pakistani tests like Test of Articulation and Phonology (TAPU), Action Picture Test (APIT), Aphasia Naming Test in Urdu, Urdu Speech Perception Test (USPT) and (U-PPVT-4) an Urdu version of Peabody picture vocabulary test but there is a lack of standardized measures for language assessments in Pakistan 15 with a huge population of children less than five years of age (14.80%). 16 This literature gap led the authors to work further to conduct pretesting of Urdu Receptive Language Scale (URLS) for modification & development of protocol for administration to make it applicable in the recent era and embarking further on norm referencing process.…”

Objective: To conduct pretesting of Urdu Receptive Language Scale (URLS) for scale modification and development of protocol for administration on children. Methods: This exploratory research was conducted from December 2021 to June 2022 in Lahore, Pakistan. Objective was achieved by pretesting in three steps including literature review, expert review and pilot testing on infants, toddlers and children aged 0-6 years utilizing purposive sampling technique. For expert review five experts’ speech language pathologists with minimum five years of experience and for pilot study 48 normal developing children age range birth to six years were recruited. The analysis was done using content validity ratio, content validity index and Cronbach alpha. Protocol for administration of test items and stimulus with minimum three correct responses among four children’s responses were finalized. Results: Of the 59 items, 57 with CVR = 0.99 were retained. Item number 3 (age 6-11 months) and item 5 (age 3.6-3.11 years) were eliminated as CVR was <0.99. CVI was one for retained items indicating acceptable validity. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.95 indicating high level of internal consistency for the scale. Task groups of protocol of administration directions included: Selection of scale items, testing environment, seating arrangements, rapport building and involving the caregiver, handling the scale material and scoring the task responses. Conclusion: The modified 57 items has high validity and internal consistency with suitable protocol of administration. It is linguistically appropriate for the application on larger scale with children of different cultural backgrounds in Pakistan. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.5.7471 How to cite this: Butt GA, Mumtaz N, Saqulain G.

Speech is the most common means of communication in humans. Any defect in accurate speech production ability results in the development of speech sound disorder (SSD), a condition that can significantly impair an individual’s academic performance, social interactions, and relationships with peers and adults. This study investigated the genetic basis of SSD in three Pakistani families. We performed family-based genome-wide parametric linkage analysis and homozygosity mapping in three consanguineous families with SSD from the Punjab province of Pakistan. The Test for Assessment of Articulation and Phonology in Urdu (TAAPU) was used to analyze the speech articulation data and determine the Percentage Correct Consonants (PCC) score. The PCC score defined the affected and unaffected individuals in each family. Parametric linkage analysis revealed a linkage to chromosome 5 (5q21.3-5q23.1) with a significant logarithm of the odds (LOD) score of 3.13 in a Pakistani family with specific language impairment-97 (PKSLI-97) under an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. The other two families showed a suggestive linkage at 6p22.1, 14q12, and 16q12.1 under the recessive mode of inheritance. Interestingly, homozygosity mapping showed a loss of heterozygosity in the linkage region at 5q15-5q23.1, shared among seven affected (mostly in the younger generation) and one unaffected individual of PKSLI-97. Our analysis identified the 6p22 locus previously implicated in dyslexia, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), and language impairment, confirming the role of KIAA0319 and DCDC2 in this locus. These findings provide statistical evidence for the genomic regions associated with articulation disorder and offer future opportunities to further the role of genes in speech production.
