Description
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 effective listening and communication skills, and are critical to the development of higher order language skills, including literacy skills.
The TAPS-4 features new subtests along with revisions to subtests from the TAPS-3, fully updated norms, and an expanded age range. The TAPS-4 also features audio administration for the subtests in which proper pronunciation of speech sounds is critical, providing a greater degree of standardization and accuracy over the testing process.

TAPSAs an SLP in a pediatric Therapy Clinic, we rely on the TAPS to provide us with valuable diagnostic and therapeutic information regarding a child's processing and memorial skills. The TAPS give us guidance into how best to address a child's reading, comprehension and auidtory processing disturbances. The TAPS also guides the SLP when making a referral for CAPD assessments.
