Description: The TAPS provides a way to identify particular language processes that an individual may be having difficulties with. The TAPS-4 will feature new subtests along with updates to subtests from the TAPS-3. The TAPS-4 will also feature audio administration for the subtests in which proper pronunciation of speech sounds is critical, which will provide a greater degree of standardization and accuracy over the testing process.
