The Aphasia Screening Test (AST) is a standardised, comprehensive yet simple screening test battery designed specifically for use with older adults with acquired aphasia during the early stages of evaluation, to identify severe to moderate levels of language disturbance. The AST is a short, practical clinical tool, easy to use and administer. It provides an objective baseline of language impairment. It yields quantitative as well as qualitative information, providing a profile on which to base treatment. Re–testing produces objective outcome measures of changes in language function. There are 50 short subtests (each of 5 items) organised in levels of difficulty from simple to complex, 20 which asses the input modalities of auditory and reading comprehension and 28 which assess the output modalities of oral and written language production. There are 2 subtests of calculation. Factor analysis of the AST resulted in six clear and statistically significant factors providing evidence for the reliability and internal consistency of the AST. A discriminant analysis resulted in identifying the most discriminating sub tests and provided the basis of the 10 subtest(4 input and 6 output). "The Short Form" AST can be used as an initial screen for patients who can not respond to the full 50 subtests procedure. The second edition of the Aphasia Screening Test is box packed and contains: 1 AST Test Display Book(41 pages spiral bound) 1 AST Test Instruction Manual (including 14 case histories, 57 pages) 1 AST Test Statistics Manual (full standardisation data , 71 pages) 1 AST booklet of 45 Test Cards (spiral bound) 5 AST Test Objects ∗10 AST Test Composite Assessment Record Forms ∗10 AST Test Writing Booklets 1 AST Short Form AST 10 Subtest Display Booklet and Instruction Manual (spiral bound , 16 pages) 5 AST Short Form Test Cards ∗10 AST Short Form Assessment Record Forms ∗10 AST Short Form Writing Booklets ∗Further copies of these items may be downloaded at www.wiley.com/go/aphasiascreeningtest

Spreen and Risser present a comprehensive, critical review of available methods for the assessment of aphasia and related disorders in adults and children. The authors explore test instruments and approaches that have been used traditionally for the diagnosis of aphasia, ranging from bedside screening and ratings, to tests of specific aspects of language, and to comprehensive and psychometrically standardized aphasia batteries. Coverage of other methods reflects newer trends, including the areas of functional communication, testing of bilingual patients, psycholinguistic approaches, and pragmatic and discourse-related aspects of language in everyday life. The authors also examine the expansion of language assessment to individuals with non-aphasic neurological disorders, such as patients with traumatic brain injury, lesions of the right hemisphere, the healthy elderly, and invidulas with dimentia. Taking a flexible and empirical approach to the assessment process in their own clinical practice, Spreen and Risser review numerous test instruments and their source for professionals and students-in-training to choose from in their own use. The introductory chapters cover the history of aphasia assessment, a basic outline of subtypes of aphasia- both neuro-anatomically and psycholinguistically-, and the basic psychometric requirements for assessment instruments. The final part discusses issues in general clinical practice, specifically questions of test selection and interpretation. The book is a thorough and practical resource for speech and language pathologists, neuropsychologists, and their students and trainees.

The Bilingual Aphasia Test is a comprehensive language test designed to assess the differential loss or sparing of various language functions in previously bilingual individuals. The individual is tested, separately, in each language he or she previously used, and then in the two languages simultaneously. The testing is multimodal -- sampling hearing, speaking, reading, and writing; and multidimensional -- testing various linguistic levels (phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical, and semantic), tasks (comprehension, repetition, judgment, lexical access and propositionizing), and units (words, sentences, and paragraphs). The BAT is structured as follows: * To test a bilingual aphasic, you will need the following testing elements: the stimulus books for each of the languages in which the individual was formerly fluent, the single-language tests for each of these languages, as well as the bilingual test that links them. For example, if you are testing an English-French bilingual aphasic, you will need an English stimulus book, a French stimulus book, an English single-language test, a French single-language test, and an English-French bilingual test. * The BAT can also be used to test monolingual aphasics. To test for monolingual aphasia, you will need the stimulus book and the single-language test in the language in which the individual was formerly fluent. * Professor Paradis' book, The Assessment of Bilingual Aphasia, provides the background material and serves as the manual for the test. The BAT is available in dozens of languages and language pairs. There are now 106 bilingual pairs available. Additional single-language and bilingual tests are being prepared continuously. If the language (or language pair) you need is not listed, please call LEA to find out if and when it will be available.

The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements.
