Each record form provides space for noting phonological process errors, voice quality, and fluency, and the teacher questionnaires allow for collaboration.

The Phonological Awareness Test - 2: Normative Update (PAT-2:NU)

The PAT-2:NU is a standardized assessment of phonological awareness, phoneme-grapheme correspondence, and phonemic decoding skills. Test results help educators focus on those aspects of oral language that may not be systematically targeted classroom reading instruction.

The SAPSS is a well standardized, norm-referenced assessment of a child's ability to perceive auditory information. The three subtests include Auditory Word Discrimination, Auditory Figure Ground, and Auditory Filtered Words. Each subtests is an important component of Auditory-perception, auditory processing and language skills.

Memory Validity Profile (MVP)

The MVP is a performance validity test (PVT) for children, adolescents, and young adults that cover visual and verbal domains in just 5-7 minutes.

Receptive, Expressive and Social Communication Assessment - Elementary (RESCA-E)

Based on current research and designed for today's child, the RESCA-E was developed to provide essential information to professionals and parents about a child's receptive, expressive and social communication language skills. It targets critical areas of language development which are often included in IEPs and treatment plans but are difficult or impossible to objectively measure with existing test for the elementary-age population.

All users now have access to the new optional PC, MAC, Chromebook, and tablet-compatible TELD-4 Online Scoring and Report System via activation codes that are included in each package of TELD-4 Examiner Record Booklets.

Auditory Phoneme Sequencing Test (APST)

The Auditory Phoneme Sequencing Test provides a quick assessment of a child's ability to discriminate and retain sounds of language presented in single-syllable words. It can assist professionals in identifying children with weaknesses in discriminating phonemes and in auditory memory, skills needed to understand and process language, develop and master written language skills, and store and retrieve information. The test was normed on a nationally representative sample of 750 students.

Test of Auditory Processing Skills - Fourth Edition
(TAPS-4)

The TAPS-4 provides information about language processing and comprehension skills across three intersecting areas: phonological processing, auditory memory and listening comprehension. These areas underpin the development of effective3 listening and communication skills, and are critical to the development of higher order language skills, including literacy skills.

Phonological and Print Awareness Scale (PPA Scale)

The PPA Scale may be used with children ages 3 years, 6 months to 8 years, 11 months - the age range in which most children acquire phonological and print awareness. Because it can be administered in just 10 to 15 minutes and uses a receptive, multiple-choice response format, it is ideal for assessing young children. Using a colorful self-standing easel, the examiner reads instructions and the examinee only has to point to indicate their answer, verbal responses are not required. This format makes the PPA Scale useful for children who have speech impairments and/or expressive language difficulties or are reticent.

LinguiSystems Articulation Test (LAT-NU)

The LAT was designed to identify children and young adults with abnormal articulation patterns. It ensures a thorough examination of all sounds and bleeds by presenting several sounds more than one time in the same position. All positions at the word level are tested. Test results, in combination with the stimulability and intelligibility ratings and a Childhood Apraxia of Speech Screening included with the LAT, allow the SLP to make appropriate recommendations regarding the type and length of service. An accurate diagnosis leads to best practice therapy.

Test of Pragmatic Language - Second Edition (TOPL-2)

The TOPL-2 identifies individuals with pragmatic language deficits, determines individual strengths and weaknesses, and documents progress over time. It focuses on a student's ability to monitor and appraise the effectiveness of the response, to resolve the social problem situation.

Test of Childhood Stuttering (TOCS)

The TOCS provides clinicians and researchers with a sound method for assessing speech fluency skills and stuttering-related behaviors in children. Its main purposes are to (1) identify children who stutter, (2) determine the severity of a child's stuttering, and (3) document changes in a child's fluency functioning over time. It can also be used as a tool in research on childhood stuttering. The TOCS is comprised of three major components: The Standardized Speech Fluency Measure; The Observational Rating Scales; and The Supplemental Clinical Assessment.
