Self-Assessment

Diadochokenetic Rate Self-Assessment

This is a repetitive speech exercise self-assessment to help you determine if you have difficulty maintaining intelligibility when trying to repeat a number of syllables quickly. Difficulty, particularly when repeating a series of variable syllables, can be indicative of a neuromuscular coordination problem of the speech mechanism, which means you may need training in learning how to correctly pronounce specific consonants sounds by taking the American English Consonants Course or in learning how to control your overall speaking rate by taking the Foreign Accent Modification Course. This self-assessment will help you determine whether the American English Consonants Course or the Foreign Accent Modification Course would be beneficial for you to take.
