Help students open new roads to learning
Identify cognitive and language deficits
Students in the classroom can often be
distracted, have trouble listening and following directions, and test poorly. When
teachers turn to you for assistance, you
are tasked with digging deeper to determine if the student might have a disorder
that explains the classroom behaviors.
Suitable for speech–language pathologists, psychologists, educators, learning
specialists, and other professionals,
the TAPS-4 is appropriate for use with
any student who exhibits listening and
communication difficulties. Educators
have increasingly recognized that early
identification of language processing
difficulties can influence academic
outcomes—so you want to find answers
and get your students help sooner.
The TAPS-4 provides information about
language processing and comprehension
in three intersecting areas—phonological
processing, auditory memory, and listening comprehension—to determine higherlevel cognitive and language deficits
and assist with diagnosis of an auditory
processing disorder (APD) so your students
can get the help they need to succeed.
