CAAP-2: Clinical Assessment of Articulation and Phonology, Second Edition

Ages: 2-6 to 11-11
Testing time: 15 to 20 minutes
Administration: Individual

CAAP-2 is time-efficient, accurate, and yields results that are easy to score and interpret. The Articulation Inventory can be administered in 15-20 minutes. The checklist approach to assessing phonological processes virtually eliminates the need for phonetic transcription.

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
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.

Articulation response Forms come in a package of 25.
Phonological Process Evaluation Records come in a package of 30.

Complete Kit includes Examiner’s Manual, Stimulus Easel, 50 Articulation Response Forms, 30 Phonological Process Record Forms, 5 foam CAAP Pals, and a big tote bag.
