goldenecho Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Another question about diagnostic tests... So, we are looking into tests for dyslexia and other problems that could affect reading... I have heard about CTOPP. Someone just mentioned PAST. Can someone tell me more about this (like what PAST stands for, for instance) and what's the difference between it and CTOPP? I've tried to googling but "past" is such a common word I'm not coming up with anything on it. Also, are there any tests for problems that may cause reading difficulties that I should be aware of other than...

Crimson Wife Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm not familiar with a test called the PAST, but there is the TAPS (Test of Auditory Processing Skills) that might be part of a dyslexia evaluation. Maybe that is what the person meant? :confused1: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Dyslexia screening used on DS included the GORT, OWLS, CTOPP, AND TOWRE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The MWIA, it compares the speed and accuracy of reading holistic and phonetic words. I also have a nonsense word reading test, both are free and linked at the bottom of my syllables page. http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Reading/syllablesspellsu.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Diebels is another one. I think the PAST is a free one that you can find? I think I gave that one to DD on my own. It came with the online resources with the book I posted about recently. https://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Preventing-Overcoming-Difficulties-Psychological/dp/1118845242 It's just basically a 5 minute test looking at phonemic awareness skills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megbo Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 From what I can find, the PAST test is free online and available online here: https://assessmentkit.weebly.com/phonological-awareness.html It looks comprehensive and easy to administer. It will let you know which skills your child has and hasn't mastered, but won't give you the type of information a standardized test (like the CTOPP) will, because it doesn't compare your child to a group. Ds7 was diagnosed with an LD in reading through a full psychoeducational assessment. We were also looking at language and attention issues, but the measures they used specifically for the LD diagnosis were: Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fifth Edition (WISC-V) Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement - Third Edition (KTEA-3) Process Assessment of the Learner - Second Edition (PAL-II) Comprehensive Test of Phonological Abilities - Second Edition (CTOPP-2) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Here is a free phonemic awareness test..if she has trouble with it that would suggest dyslexia. If she flies through it with no struggle that tells you something too. https://assessmentkit.weebly.com/phonological-awareness.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
