DTAP (Developmental Test of Auditory Perception)

The DTAP is a battery of 5 item sets that measure different, but interrelated, aspects of auditory perception. The comprehensive battery is designed to assess auditory perception without invoking higher order verbal reasoning or extensive memory capacity. Items are presented via online audio files to standardize presentation of the language item sets and to include various non-language sounds as well. Ages: 6-0 through 18-11 Testing Time: 30 minutes Administration: individual, small group The DTAP uses a simple response format easily understood and accommodated even by children in the primary grades. Using various language-related as well as non-language-related sounds, pairs of stimuli are presented and examinees indicate whether the pairs are the same or different. The DTAP can be administered by psychologists, speech-language pathologists, general and special educators, neuropsychologists, and diagnosticians who are interested in examining the auditory perception status of school-age children.  (Requires special credentials to access - Level 2.)
