This formal test includes four lists that all contain 26 monosyllablic words. The child being tested provides responses by pointing to the pictures in a closed-set format. This test can be used with children who have a hearing loss and exhibit signs of limited receptive and expressive language skills.
The entirety of this test contains 50 monosyllabic nouns, all of which have been scrambled to form four randomized lists. This test also uses a picture-pointing response that asks children to point at the picture that best represents the testing items. Because of the nonverbal response format, using this test with children with a hearing loss is appropriate.
In this test, it uses the six isolated phonemes of /m/, /a/, /u/, /i/, /s/, and /ʃ/. These are spoken to the child at the normal conversational level. Individuals with residual hearing up to 1000 Hz should be able to detect the vowels. Children with residual hearing up to 2000 Hz should be able to hear /ʃ/ and individuals with residual hearing up to 4000 Hz (cannot be worse than 90 dB HL at this frequency) should be able to detect /s/.
This testing method consists of a series of subtests that assess pattern and word perception. This is done in a closed-set format. The results that come from the test will place a child in one of four categories:
(1) no pattern perception, (2) pattern perception, (3) some word identification, and (4) consistent word identification
This test is made up of tree subtests to look at speech perception:
(1) phoneme detection, (2) word identification, and (3) sentence comprehension
The results of this test can help in the aid of planning auditory training.
This auditory test looks at the comprehension of auditory skills through different aspects of sound awareness, phonetic listening, and auditory comprehension. Once a child turns three, they are eligible to be tested using this method. There is some data that is available for children with many different degrees of hearing.
This test is used for its comprehensive identification and home intervention treatment curriculum. The plan of this test is to develop auditory based stimulations to get a training program put into place. In conjunction with language-speech stimulations, there are four phases and eleven general skills that can be developed. This test was made user-friendly so parents can jump in on the auditory training with their children.
This was developed to help evaluate developing auditory skills in children that present a severe to profound hearing loss. There are goals and objectives put in place that are associated with four different levels of speech:
(1) detection - awareness and responsiveness to speech, (2 & 3) suprasegmental/vowel/consonant perception - work on knowing the difference in speech due to duration, stress, and intonation, along with making perceptual distinctions among individual word stimuli, (4) connected speech
This test usually plays out through short and structured therapy sessions that hone in one specific listening skills.
