The objective of this review is to examine the current available evidence regarding the assessment of speech sound disorders (SSD) in multilingual preschoolers. This review will be conducted through the lens of the International Classification of Functioning and Disability-Child and Youth (ICF) framework, WHO. The ICF has been adopted by speech-language associations globally, offering an appropriate structure to inform this review. Most children across the world speak more than one language daily. However, measures designed to assess SSDs primarily focus on monolingual populations, placing multilingual children at risk for the misdiagnosis of SSD. A deeper understanding of available assessment measures, as well as what aspects of the ICF they address, will support clinicians in assessing SSD in multilingual children and aid researchers in identifying areas for future research. This review will explore studies that involve multilingual preschoolers (up to age 5 years 11 months) with SSD. It will examine measures used to evaluate the current status and/or progress over time in multilingual children with and without SSDs.
This scoping review protocol implements the updated Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Scoping Review Methodology. The search will be conducted using Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus, EMBASE and Web of Science. Grey literature will also be searched using Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Search, screening, data extraction and data analysis will be conducted by a team of three reviewers. Data will be analysed and mapped through the ICF framework.
Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review. Available evidence will be mapped according to the language pairings and the ICF. This review aims to support clinical and research speech-language pathologists in identifying current evidence and gaps in the knowledge base. Planned dissemination activities include a peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations.
本综述的目的是研究目前关于多语言学龄前儿童语音障碍（SSD）评估的现有证据。本综述将通过世界卫生组织的《国际功能、残疾和健康分类-儿童与青少年版》（ICF）框架进行。全球的言语语言协会都采用了ICF，为本次综述提供了合适的结构。世界上大多数儿童每天会说不止一种语言。然而，旨在评估SSD的措施主要集中在单语言人群，这使多语言儿童面临SSD误诊的风险。深入了解现有的评估措施及其所涉及的ICF方面，将有助于临床医生评估多语言儿童的SSD，并帮助研究人员确定未来研究的领域。本综述将探索涉及患有SSD的多语言学龄前儿童（至5岁11个月）的研究。它将研究用于评估有和没有SSD的多语言儿童当前状况和/或随时间进展的措施。
本范围综述方案采用了更新后的乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）范围综述方法。将使用Ovid MEDLINE、CINAHL Plus、EMBASE和科学网进行检索。还将使用谷歌学术和ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global检索灰色文献。由三名评审员组成的团队将进行检索、筛选、数据提取和数据分析。数据将通过ICF框架进行分析和映射。
本范围综述无需伦理批准。现有证据将根据语言配对和ICF进行映射。本综述旨在支持临床和研究言语语言病理学家识别现有证据和知识库中的差距。计划开展的传播活动包括同行评审出版物和会议报告。
