Abstract

The phonological assessment is one of the main resources that speech-language therapist has to identify phonological disorders in children. For this, it is necessary to be composed of a words set that have a variety of phonemes in different positions of the syllable and the word, in order to obtain a representative sample of the phonological system. Thus, the present work aimed to analyze a set of 84 words from a phonological assessment instrument, with the objective of identifying and removing words with over-represented phonemes. Aiming to facilitate the phonological evaluation by making it more succinct with the reduction of the number of words, the present work describes a judicious method organized in three steps, which was implemented in Javascript and obtained a subset of 55 words, which have at least two occurrences of the same phonemes in the proper positions in which they appeared in the initial set, representing a 35% reduction in the number of words without losing quality.
