Development of children's speech assessments

I have just been invited to advise someone internationally about her development of a speech assessment. Here are a few of our published resources I have just sent: 

Appendix C of this paper is designed to support people’s test development: 

• McLeod, S., & Crowe, K. (2018). Children’s consonant acquisition in 27 languages: A cross-linguistic review. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 27(4), 1546–1571. https://doi.org/10.1044/2018_AJSLP-17-0100 1. 

Here are some general papers - with assessments available on the Multilingual Children's Speech website: https://www.csu.edu.au/research/multilingual-speech/speech-assessments

A few years ago I worked with Dr Ben Pham and Xuan Le to create a speech test for Vietnam - and Ben's subsequent papers show how well her test development worked:

We also have a lot of papers outlining the development of the ICS. Here are two:
