Measures

Numerous measures exist to gain a full picture of a student's learning strengths and challenges. Following are examples of measures used to assess this Learner Factor. These measures should be administered and interpreted by experienced professionals.

Auditory Processing Speed Test (APS-T): (Cameron et al., 2014): Assessment of language processing speed for students aged 6 to 12.

Test of Auditory Processing Skills: (Martin, Brownell & Hamaguchi, 2018): Assessment of Language Processing skills including Auditory Memory, Listening Comprehension, and Phonological skills for students aged four to 18.
