How to Use this Page

While a Mandarin Chinese interpreter may be required for situations such as evaluations and assessments, interpreters may not be readily available during therapy sessions. This page provides sound files on specific Mandarin Chinese words and phrases that may be helpful with both pediatric and adult populations. It is highly recommended that the speech pathologist listen to and practice with the audio files for pronunciation accuracy.
