The Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP) was published in 1999 and revised in 2013 to meet the need for an assessment of reading-related phonological processing skills.
Clinicians can use the CTOPP-2 to:
-
Identify individuals who are significantly below their peers in important phonological abilities,
-
Determine strengths and weaknesses among developed phonological processes,
-
Document individuals' progress in phonological processing as a consequence of special intervention programs, and
-
Serve as a measurement device in research studies investigating phonological processing.
