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:
- Word standard scores
- Sentence standard scores
- Phonology standard scores
Articulation inventory targets:
- Pre- and postvocalic consonant singletons
- Cluster words containing S, R, and L in the initial position
- Three- and four-syllable words
- Postvocalic productions of R
- The production of sounds in sentences (for children 5 years and older)
Phonological process checklists assess:
- Final consonant deletion
- Cluster reduction
- Syllable reduction
- Gliding
- Vocalization
- Fronting (velar and palatal)
- Deaffrication
- Stopping
- Prevocalic voicing
- Postvocalic devoicing
Valid and Reliable
The 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.
