Objective: To develop and standardize a phonetic-phonological test (Teste Fonetico-Fonologico-Avaliacao da Linguagem Pre-Escolar, TFF-ALPE) for the assessment of European-Portuguese (EP) children's articulation and phonological abilities. Patients and Methods: In order to standardize TFF-ALPE, 768 children aged 3;0-6;11 participated in this study. The standardization, validity and reliability of TFF-ALPE were analyzed. Results: TFF-ALPE presents strong cohesion and has strong inter- and intrajudge reliability. There was also a strong correlation between the TFF-ALPE data and those obtained in other studies. The content validity was demonstrated by the description of the test domain and the items that comprise TFF-ALPE. Conclusion: TFF-ALPE is a valid and reliable phonetic-phonological assessment instrument that speech-language pathologists can use with EP- speaking children. Copyright (C) 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel
