Listen Later

Standardized single word speech tests—are they a yay or a nay? In this episode, we dig into the reliability and validity of tools like the GFTA-3 and the CAAP-2, and why the same child can “pass” one and “fail” the other.

You’ll hear the latest research from JSLHR and Harvard on when single word tests help (and when they mislead), plus how to balance quantity of errors with the quality of errors for more accurate decision-making.
