The CAAP-2 assesses articulation and phonology in children. It is time-efficient, accurate, and yields results that are easy to score and interpret. The checklist approach to assessing phonological processes virtually eliminates the need for phonetic transcription. The CAAP-2 is designed so that children will enjoy its administration. It helps you qualify students for therapy with word standard scores, sentence standard scores, and phonology standard scores.
The 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; and the production of sounds in sentences (for children 5 years and older). The phonological process checklists assess:
Final consonant deletion
Cluster reduction
Syllable reduction
Gliding Prevocalic
Vocalization Postvocalic
Fronting (velar and palatial)
Deaffrication
Stopping
Prevocalic voicing
Postvocalic devoicing
The CAAP-2 was standardized on a nationally representative sample of 1,486 children.
Administration and Scoring
The CAAP-2 is quick to administer and score. The checklist approach to assessing phonological process virtually eliminates the need for phonetic transcription. Raw scores are reported as standard scores for Word, Sentence, and Phonology.
Reliability and Validity
Interrater reliability correlations were above 0.99.
Results of validity studies are reported in the manual.
