Purpose: to study the validity and reliability of the questionnaire that measures the perception of speech-language-hearing therapists, regarding the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in evaluation and intervention processes. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, nonexperimental study. A total of 123 professionals from the Region of Valparaíso, Chile, with degrees in speech-language-hearing therapy, participated in the study. They answered the questionnaire that measures their opinion and knowledge on the use of ICTs. Results: the questionnaire had an adequate level of stability, as the Cronbach's α and Guttman's λ6 coefficient values were respectively 0.85 and 0.95. When studying each item, adequate levels of stability were obtained. On the other hand, the corrected homogeneity index (CHI) yielded values lower than 0.2 for items A8, A9, A17, A18, A26, A27, A42, A43, and A46, which suggests not considering them due to a lack of correlation between these items and the overall questionnaire score. Regarding content validity, assessed with the Question Appraisal System, 100% of the questions presented no major semantic problems. Conclusion: the results of the study indicate that the ICT questionnaire is valid and reliable.

RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar la percepción de los fonoaudiólogos respecto a las pruebas estructuradas propuestas por la normativa vigente en Chile utilizadas para la evaluación y diagnóstico del lenguaje infantil. Métodos: se aplicó un cuestionario para evaluar la percepción de las tres pruebas (Test de comprensión auditiva del lenguaje, Test para evaluar procesos de simplificación fonológica y Screening Test of Spanish Grammar) y contrastar sus diferencias con el test de Friedman y para comparar el post hoc se utilizó el test suma de rango de Wilcoxon. Además, se estudió la correlación de las puntuaciones con el coeficiente Rho de Spearman con nivel de confianza prefijado del 5%. Resultados: la puntuación Likert promedio más alta la obtuvo la prueba Test para evaluar procesos de simplificación fonológica revisado en la mayoría de los ítems evaluados, excepto en la pregunta relacionada al tiempo excesivo de aplicación. El 91% de los participantes expresan la necesidad de contar con una versión digital en las tres pruebas estructuradas. Finalmente, la correlación de las puntuaciones es más alta y significativa entre las pruebas: Test de comprensión auditiva del lenguaje y Screening Test of Spanish Grammar. Conclusión: la percepción de los participantes es más positiva en el Test para evaluar procesos de simplificación fonológica revisado, respecto a las otras pruebas. Finalmente, opinan que las pruebas deben ser digitalizadas.

Purpose: to analyze the speech-language-hearing therapists’ perception of structured tests proposed by the current Chilean regulations to assess and diagnose language in children. Methods: a questionnaire to assess their perception of three tests (the Test of Auditory Comprehension of Language, the revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Test and the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar). Differences were contrasted with the Friedman test, and the post hoc was compared with the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Also, the Spearman´s rho coefficient was used to study the correlation between scores, setting the confidence level at 5%. Results: the revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Test obtained the highest mean Likert score in most items assessed, except for the question on excessive application time. A total of 91% of participants reported the need for a digital version of the three structured tests. Lastly, the highest and most significant score correlation occurred between the Test of Auditory Comprehension of Language and the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar. Conclusion: the participants’ perceptions of the revised Phonological Simplification Processes Assessment Test are more positive than those of other tests. The participants also believe that the tests should have a digital version.
