Purpose Conducting in-depth grammatical analyses based on language samples can be time consuming. Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS) and the Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) analyses provide detailed information regarding the grammatical profiles of children and can be conducted using free computer-based software. Here, we provide a tutorial to support clinicians' use of computer-based analyses to aid diagnosis and develop and monitor treatment goals. Method We analyzed language samples of a 5-year-old with developmental language disorder and an adolescent with Down syndrome using computer-based software, Computerized Language Analysis. We focused on DSS and IPSyn analyses. The tutorial includes step-by-step procedures for conducting the analyses. We also illustrate how the analyses may be used to assist in diagnosis, develop treatment goals focused on grammatical targets, and monitor progress on these treatment goals. Conclusion Clinicians should consider using Computerized Language Analysis's IPSyn and DSS analyses to support grammatical language assessments used to aid diagnosis, develop treatment goals, and monitor progress on these treatment goals.

使用计算机语言分析来评估语法技能。

目的基于语言样本进行深入的语法分析可能很耗时。发展句评分（DSS）和生产语法索引（IPSyn）分析提供有关儿童语法特征的详细信息，并且可以使用基于计算机的免费软件进行。在这里，我们提供了一个指南，以支持临床医生使用基于计算机的分析来辅助诊断以及制定和监视治疗目标。方法我们使用基于计算机的软件“计算机化语言分析”对5岁的发展性语言障碍和唐氏综合症青少年的语言样本进行了分析。我们专注于DSS和IPSyn分析。本教程包括进行分析的分步过程。我们还将说明如何将分析用于辅助诊断，制定针对语法目标的治疗目标，并监控这些治疗目标的进展情况。结论临床医生应考虑使用计算机语言分析的IPSyn和DSS分析来支持语法语言评估，以帮助诊断，制定治疗目标并监测这些治疗目标的进展。补充材料https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12021141。
