The aim of this article is to examine speech-language pathologists’ (SLPs) knowledge and competence using Percentage of Consonants Correct (PCC). Participants were recruited through posts on social media and message boards for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Special Interest Groups. In addition, surveys were emailed via the ASHA membership directory to SLPs in selected states who reported working in settings with a primarily pediatric population. The majority of SLPs reported a lack of academic and clinical training in the area of PCC. Participants demonstrated limited knowledge of the rules for calculating PCC in addition to decreased calculation ability and confidence. Because PCC is well-validated, SLPs would benefit from increased clinical and academic exposure to the measure; however, as many report that they do not use PCC, this calls into question its clinical practicality. The question remains if there is a need for a more expedient process by which to objectively quantify severity, such as use of an automated metric.

语言病理学家关于辅音正确率的知识和能力

本文的目的是使用正确辅音百分比 (PCC) 来检查语言病理学家 (SLP) 的知识和能力。参与者是通过社交媒体上的帖子和美国语言听力协会 (ASHA) 特殊兴趣小组的留言板招募的。此外，调查通过 ASHA 成员目录通过电子邮件发送给选定州的 SLP，他们报告在主要是儿科人群的环境中工作。大多数 SLP 报告缺乏 PCC 领域的学术和临床培训。除了计算能力和信心下降之外，参与者还表现出对计算 PCC 规则的了解有限。由于 PCC 得到充分验证，SLP 将受益于增加的临床和学术接触；然而，由于许多报告他们不使用 PCC，这对其临床实用性提出了质疑。问题仍然存在，是否需要一个更方便的过程来客观地量化严重性，例如使用自动化指标。
