Description
The CAAP-2 is the most current assessment for articulation and phonology. It is time-efficient, accurate, and yields results that are easy to score and interpret. You may administer the Articulation Inventory in 15-20 minutes. The checklist approach to assessing phonological processes virtually eliminates the need for phonetic transcription. CAAP-2 is an assessment that you will like giving and children will enjoy taking.
Qualify students for therapy with:
1. Word standard scores
2. Sentence standard scores
3. Phonology standard scores
Articulation inventory targets:
1. Pre- and postvocalic consonant singletons
2. Cluster words containing S, R, and L in the initial position
3. Three- and four-syllable words
4. Postvocalic productions of R
5. The production of sounds in sentences (for children 5 years and older)
Phonological process checklists assess:
1. Final consonant deletion
2. Cluster reduction
3. Syllable reduction
4. Gliding
5. Vocalization
6. Fronting (velar and palatal)
7. Deaffrication
8. Stopping
9. Prevocalic voicing
10. Postvocalic devoicing
Validity and Reliability:
CAAP-2 is a valid and reliable instrument. The CAAP-2 standardization sample included 1486 children from the U.S. and closely resembles 2013 U.S. Census Data. Concurrent validity studies comparing CAAP to the GFTA-2 and the KLPA-2 were significant beyond p<.01 for all raw scores, standard scores and percentile ranks (ranging from .789 to .948). Inter-rater reliability coefficients were all above .99.
