Describe the normative sample

The observation is subjective, therefore, no normative data could be developed.  Severity interval categories are derived from the phonological deviancy scores as follows: 

  Phonological Deviancy Scores                  Severity Interval

                1-19 points                                              Mild

                 20-39                                                     Moderate

                 40-59                                                     Severe

                 60 and above                                           Profound
