Detroit Tests of Learning Aptitude, Fourth Edition [DTLA-4]
Donald D. Hammill
OUR PRICE-$510.00
Ages: 6-0 Through 17-0
Testing Time: 40 Minutes – 2 Hours

The DTLA-4 is the test of choice for professionals interested in a thorough investigation of a person’s cognitive functions. The test not only measures basic abilities, but also shows the effects of language, attention, and motor abilities on test performance. Results from the 10 subtests can be combined to form 16 composites that measure both general intelligence and discrete ability areas.

The DTLA-4 was normed on 1,350 students residing in 37 states. The demographic characteristics of the normative sample are representative of the US population as a whole with regard to gender, race, ethnicity, urban/rural residence, family income, educational attainment of parents, and geographic distribution. Norms are stratified by age. The test provides percentiles, standard scores (subtest: M=10; SD=3, composite/quotients: M=100; SD=15), and age equivalents. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for the DTLA-4 generally exceed .80 for the subtests and .90 for the composites. Test-retest coefficients range from .71 to .96 for the subtests, those for the composites all exceed .90, and scorer reliability coefficients were all in the .90s.

New to the DTLA include studies showing the absence of gender and racial bias, new validity studies, and new, more appealing, color pictures in the picture book.

Developmental Assessment of Young Children (DAYC)
Judith K. Voress, Taddy Maddox
OUR PRICE-388.00
Ages: Birth through 5
Testing Time: 10 to 20 minutes
Administration: Individual

Use the DAYC to identify children birth through 5-11 with possible delays in the domains of cognition, communication, socialemotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. You’ll have five subtests (one for each of the above domains) that you can administer separately or as a comprehensive battery to individual children in about 10 to 20 minutes. You will be able to identify infants and young children who may benefit from early intervention.

Each of the five domains this test measures reflects an area mandated for assessment and intervention in IDEA for young children. Tailor your assessment to your clients’ needs by assessing any combination of these domains. Involve parents and caregivers by interviewing them as part of the assessment process. The DAYC format allows you to obtain information about a child’s abilities through observation, interview of caregivers, and direct assessment. The DAYC may also be used in arena assessment so that each discipline can use the evaluation tool independently.

The DAYC was normed on a national sample of 1,269 individuals, broken into 23 age groups. Characteristics of the normative sample approximate the 1996 census. The reliability of the DAYC has been studied, and evidence relating to content-sampling and testretest time sampling reliability is provided. Reliability coefficients range from .90 to .99. Standard Error of Measure (SEM) ranges from 1.5 to 4.74, with the majority smaller than 3.0. Reliabilities for children identified as environmentally at-risk and biologically at-risk are .98 and .99.

Compared to Battelle Screening, criterion-referenced validity, construct-validity, and content-description validity are provided. Using the DAYC, you will obtain standard scores, percentile scores, and age equivalents. The test also gives you a General Development Quotient (GDQ) if all 5 subtests are completed, but all subtests can be used independently for each domain.

Great Beginnings™ for Early Language Learning
Linda Levine
OUR PRICE-$570.00
Great Beginnings is ideal for speech-language clinicians and teachers who specialize in young children who have delays in language, speech, and cognition. Six individual sets of cards and manipulatives focus on main areas of language development:

Nouns 1 and Nouns 2 each include 40 full-color 6" x 8" photographs that appeal to very young children. Nouns 1 features food and animals; Nouns 2 features toys and body parts. With these colorful cards you can teach new vocabulary, attention to pictures, basic categories, and functions of objects.

Concepts features 57 full-color, 6" x 8" photographs, plus more than 35 manipulatives, including:

Use the manipulatives and photos to target object-to-picture matching skills and to introduce and reinforce concepts such as color, number, size, same/different, categorization, prepositions, and associations. They¹re more effective with toddlers than structured drill activities that just use pictures. You can also use the manipulatives with other Great Beginnings sets as well, in a variety of structured and unstructured activities.

Association depicts 20 nouns in a variety of ways. Each noun is represented in a full-color photograph, plus one color illustration and one black-and-white drawing - 60 6" x 8" cards in all! Each picture depicts the noun in a slightly different way to help children move from concrete to abstract thinking.

Verbs has cards that depict 15 actions, each presented twice-once by a boy and once by a girl. You can aid in generalizing verb concepts and introduce gender distinctions. You get a total of 30 full-color, 8" x 10" cards.

Prepositions provides practice for these eight early-developing prepositions‹in, under, out, in front of, on, in back of (behind), off, next to (beside). The 24 full-color, 8" x 10" photographs will aid in generalizing the concept of location, help you introduce gender and pronoun distinctions, and drill the use of prepositions.


TARGET GROUP: 2 1/2-4 years

The TOMAL-2 includes 8 core subtests, 6 supplementary subtests, and 2 delayed recall tasks that evaluate general and specific memory functions; features composite memory scores for Verbal Memory, Nonverbal Memory, and a Composite Memory Index; has supplementary composite scores that include a Verbal Delayed Recall Index, Learning Index, Attention and Concentration Index, Sequential Memory Index, Free Recall Index, and an Associate Recall Index; includes highly interpretable and relevant scores, scaled to a familiar metric.

TOMAL-2 provides the most comprehensive coverage of memory assessment currently available in a standardized battery.

Statistical Characteristics of the TOMAL-2
TOMAL-2 was normed on more than 1,900 children, adolescents, and adults ages 5-0 through 59-11, drawn from 31 states representing all major regions of the United States. The sample was designed to be representative of the U.S. population as a whole on gender, age, ethnicity, urban/rural residence, and geographic distribution. The TOMAL-2 also was evaluated at the item and subtest levels for gender and ethnic bias. The results of these studies provide strong evidence for a lack of bias and favor consistency across gender and across U.S. born ethnic populations.

TOMAL-2 scores include standardized or scaled scores and percentiles. Subtest scaled scores appear in a familiar metric with a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 3. Composite scores and indexes also are scaled to a familiar metric for ease of use and comparability with other tests (M = 100; SD = 15). Reliability was determined using standard methods for estimating the internal consistency of the subtests and composites. Reliability estimates are uniformly high, with all composite and some subtest reliability values falling in the .90s and the balance exceeding .85. Test retest reliability coefficients are all above .70 for the subtests, with most above .80, and for the composite indexes all but one value exceeds .80.

TOMAL-2 Subtests and Composites
The 8 core, 6 supplemental subtests, and 2 delayed recall tasks are designed to give information on specific and general aspects of memory and are used to derive the Core Indexes and the Supplementary Indexes. Subtests include Memory for Stories (MFS), Facial Memory (FM), Word Selective Reminding (WSR), Visual Selective Reminding (VSR), Object Recall (OR), Abstract Visual Memory (AVM), Digits Forward (DF), Visual Sequential Memory (VSM), Paired Recall (PR), Memory for Location (MFL), Manual Imitation (MI), Letters Forward (LF), Digits Backward (DB), and Letters Backward (LB), along with 2 verbal delayed recall tasks and cued recall procedures.
