ABA-2: Apraxia Battery for Adults Profile/Examiner Record Forms

The Apraxia Battery for Adults–Second Edition (ABA-2) is an instrument designed for the assessment of apraxia severity in adolescents and adults. It helps clinicians measure and interpret motor speech difficulties by evaluating key apraxic behaviors. This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates diagnostic evaluation and progress tracking and allows them to develop individualized therapy based on the type and severity of apraxia.

Benefits:

• Accurate Assessment: High reliability coefficients (r = .83 to .99) across subtests ensure consistent, reproducible results.

• Comprehensive Coverage: Six targeted subtests deliver an in-depth analysis of apraxia-related speech impairments.

• Enhanced Detection: New items improve detection of mild apraxia cases.

• User-Friendly Kit: Includes all necessary materials for efficient one-on-one administration and reporting.

Key Features:

• Individual Administration: Designed for focused evaluation in clinical settings.

• Validated Tools: Strong construct and criterion validity support evidence-based application.

• New Normative Data: Based on updated samples to reflect diverse speech populations.

• Detailed Reporting: The Level of Impairment Profile provides a nuanced view of apraxia types and severity.

Applications:

• Identification and severity assessment of apraxia in adolescents and adults

• Supporting diagnosis in neurological or post-stroke evaluations

• Baseline measurement for tracking recovery and therapy outcomes

• Research in motor speech disorders and intervention efficacy
