There is currently limited knowledge on the useof transcription in the management of children with speech sound disorders (SSD) by speech-language pathologists in Australia. This study explored the use of transcription, the facilitators, and challenges of transcription use, and differences in the use of detailed transcription with various client groups. Method and Participants: Eighty-four participants (speech-language pathologists working in Australia) completed an online exploratory survey which included closed and open-ended questions. 95% of participants reported using transcription. The three most commonly reported strategies/resources were transcription charts (81%), self-practice (68%), and websites (42%). Transcription challenges included the use of two vowel notation systems, reduced proficiency in transcription, service delivery issues, sampling/recording issues, and issues with using transcription to communicate. Finally, results from this survey found that participants use detailed transcription more often when recording the speech of children with childhood apraxia of speech and craniofacial impairment compared to using transcription to document the speech of children who have SSD of unknown origin. Most participants (91%) had not attended transcription professional development. These findings have implications for the university training of speech-language pathologists and for the establishment of professional development courses for practising speech-language pathologists in Australia.
