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.

基于语言样本进行深入的语法分析可能会很耗时。发展性句子评分（DSS）和生产语法指数（IPSyn）分析可以提供有关儿童语法特征的详细信息，并且可以使用免费的基于计算机的软件进行分析。在这里，我们提供了一个教程，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测治疗目标。
我们使用基于计算机的语言分析软件（Computerized Language Analysis）分析了一名语言发育障碍的 5 岁儿童和一名唐氏综合征青少年的语言样本。我们重点介绍了 DSS 和 IPSyn 分析。本教程包括了进行这些分析的分步程序。我们还说明了如何使用这些分析来协助诊断、制定以语法目标为重点的治疗目标，并监测这些治疗目标的进展。
临床医生应考虑使用 Computerized Language Analysis 的 IPSyn 和 DSS 分析来支持用于辅助诊断、制定治疗目标以及监测这些治疗目标进展的语法语言评估。
