Question pretext

For items 59 and 60, use the following procedure:

If you do not notice these sounds during the assessment, ask the mother, "Je mtoto wako hutoa sauti yeyote? Huwa anatoa sauti za aina gani? Ukimwongelesha na umwambie 'aa aa aa' ama 'ba ba ba,' yeye husemaje? " Play with ( [asq_q2_1]) and repeat different sounds such as aa aa aa, mama, papa, gagaga etc. and observe if ( [asq_q2_1]) mimics the sounds.
