Results can help you diagnose auditory processing difficulties, imperceptions of auditory modality, language problems, and/or learning disabilities in both children and teens. • Subtests include Word Discrimination, Phonological Segmentation, Phonological Blending, Numbers Forward, Numbers Reversed, Word Memory, Sentence Memory, Auditory Comprehension, and Auditory Reasoning. • Subtest order reflects a developmental progression of tasks, ranging from easiest to most difficult. The use of partial credit in some subtests more accurately reflects the child's auditory abilities. • An optional Auditory Figure-Ground task, presented on audio CD, flags attention problems and gives feedback about how the child's auditory processing system works in real-world situations. • In addition to one overall score, individual subtest scores are combined to derive three cluster scores: Basic Auditory Skills, Auditory Memory, and Auditory Cohesion. • Norms are nationally stratified to closely match U.S. Census demographics and are based on data from more than 2,000 students. 4F-6011-KT TAPS-3 Introductory Kit (includes TAPS-3 Manual, 25 Test Booklets, and Auditory Figure-Ground–CD) .......................... $160.00 4F-6012-TM TAPS-3 Manual .......................................................................... 60.00 4F-6013-TB TAPS-3 Test Booklets (pkg/25) .................................................. 75.00 4F-6014-EQ TAPS-3 Auditory Figure-Ground–CD ............................................ 25.00 Requirements: CD player for optional auditory task Test of Auditory Processing Skills–Third Edition (TAPS-3) Nancy Martin and Rick Brownell Designed to be used by speech-language pathologists, audiologists, school psychologists, and other testing professionals.
