What are some of the most effective tools for evaluating phonological patterns in Spanish?

Effective evaluation of Spanish-speaking children's phonological patterns requires a combination of standardized and non-standardized assessments. Informal measures, such as optimal words, help identify specific phonological issues like initial and final consonant deletion. It's important to consider dialectal variations in Spanish, especially regarding S clusters, while using a mix of standardized assessments and tailored informal word lists for a comprehensive evaluation.
