It was nice to know that PCC seems to be the best standard for measurement; however, it's disappointing to know that the evidence on even that is still quite thin.

It had a good alternative to PCC for assessments. I was suprised to find there were not as many research articles on using intelligibility or other measures for less subjective classification of severity.
Review by: Member

It provided a useful tool (i.e., the PCC in Imitated Sentences) for determining severity and a rationale for using the tool.

Interesting perspective.....especially since most parents interpret severity in their own way and then don't understand why their children don't meet eligibility requirements!!!
