Considered the UKs most comprehensive articulation and phonology assessment battery, and check normed in Australia, DEAP detects and differentiates between articulation problems, delayed phonology and consistent versus inconsistent phonological disorder.

The DEAP is time and cost effective. The 5 minute Diagnostic Screen gives clear direction to assessment in the following areas:

  • Articulation
  • Phonology
  • Oro-motor Ability
  • Inconsistency

The assessment provides an evidence base for clinical management decisions and guides selection of therapy targets and therapy type for effective intervention.

Features include:

  • Diagnostic screen with 100% detection of disorder on clinical trials
  • National UK norms
  • Checknormed on 144 Queensland children aged 5:0 to 6:0. No differences found between the two populations
  • Australian results are reported separately from the UK norms in the manual
  • Illustrative case studies and suggested therapy approaches
  • Single sounds, words and connected speech including consonents and vowels
  • Comprehensive listing and definition of processes, phonemes and symbols
  • Full colour stimulus materials
