Sourcebook for Speech and Language Assessment

The Sourcebook for Speech and Language Assessment is designed to provide speech-language pathologists and other special education professionals with a comprehensive collection of informal assessment resources that can be used to identify individuals with communication disorders and to plan individualized intervention programs. Criterion-referenced assessment tasks, observational record forms, skills checklists, and other materials are included. Use the assessment tools with children or adults to identify learning needs, plan intervention programs, and evaluate progress. The expanded second edition of this book includes a variety of improvements in the content and format of individual assessment resources. New resources have been added to make the book even more comprehensive. A new tool, for example, has been added to assess behaviors related to autism. A section has been added with specific guidelines and strategies for assessing language learning in instructional contexts. You will use the resources in this book on a daily basis to assess articulation/phonology, phonological awareness, language, voice, and fluency. You will have dozens of assessment measures to choose from so that you can individualize the assessment based on the specific problems observed. All of the record forms can be reproduced as often as necessary- no need to spend money on large packages of record forms.
