Background
Collection of high-quality videorecorded speech samples is essential for speech outcomes research.
Solution
Cleft palate team SLPs were trained to collect standard videorecorded speech samples in the clinic setting across 20 sites in North America. Standard training and equipment was provided.
What We Did That is New
Quality management procedures were developed and utilized to verify video quality and protocol adherence. Over 97% of speech samples collected by trained SLPs met defined quality standards.
