APHASIA, APRAXIA, AND DYSARTHRIA
FDA‑2: Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment–Second Edition Pamela Enderby • Rebecca Palmer AGES: 12 years to adult TESTING TIME: 20 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Individual The second edition of Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (FDA‑2) includes powerful information about motor speech disorders and their contribu- tion to neurological diagnosis. This updated edition remains a well-established test for the measurement, differential description, and diagnosis of dysarthria. It can be used in international research, as well as all clinical settings. Norms are provided for ages 12 to 97.
4. Palate —Ratings for fluids, maintenance, and in speech 5. Laryngeal —Ratings for time, pitch, volume, and in speech 6. Tongue —Ratings for at rest, protrusion, elevation, lateral, alternate, and in speech 7. Intelligibility —Ratings for words, sentences, and conversation 8. Influencing Factors —Includes hearing, sight, teeth, language, mood, posture, rate (words per minute), and sensation The test results can be recorded on the FDA‑2 Rating Form, indicating the client’s strengths and weaknesses. The Rating Form also allows the clinician to compare the patient’s performance across all the items. Normative data are reported for adults without dysarthria as well as patients with specific dysarthria associated with confirmed medical diagnoses. Separate tables enable speech therapists to compare individual results with those of known dysarthric groups. The results are easily communicated to other pro- fessionals via the three-part carbonized record form. COMPLETE FDA‑2 KIT INCLUDES: Examiner’s Manual, 25 Rating Forms, and Intelligibility Cards, all in an organized folder.

The FDA‑2 is quick and simple to administer, accurate, reliable, and cost-efficient. The client is rated on a number of simple performance tasks related to speech function. It is divided into eight sections: 1. Reflexes —Ratings for cough, swallow, and dribble/drool 2. Respiration —Ratings at rest and in speech 3. Lips —Ratings for at rest, spread, seal, alternate, and in speech
ADP: Aphasia Diagnostic Profiles Nancy Helm-Estabrooks AGES: Adults TESTING TIME: 40 to 45 minutes ADMINISTRATION: Individual
• Error Profile —identifies the communicative value of a patient’s responses • Behavioral Profile —indexes the patient’s overall emotional state during testing The ADP was standardized on 290 adults with neurological impairments (222 potentially aphasic adults) and 40 nonaphasic adults (median age 70). Reliability coefficients (inter-item consistency) for subtest raw scores ranged from .73 (Behavioral Score) to .96 (Repetition), with most in the .90s. Test–retest coefficients ranged from .64 (Elicited Gestures) to .91 (Information Units). Validity was studied using discriminant analysis and correlational analysis. COMPLETE ADP KIT INCLUDES: Manual, Stimulus Cards/Letter Board, and 25 Record Forms, all in a sturdy carrying case.

Designed to meet the demands of today’s medical climate, the ADP contains nine brief subtests. Each subtest yields standard scores and percentile ranks. Subtest results are used to create composite scores and a series of five valuable profiles addressing five critical areas of the patient’s performance: • Aphasia Classification Profile —identifies aphasia type (based on the Boston classification) • Aphasia Severity Profile —indicates specific strengths and weaknesses • Alternative Communication Profile —identifies the patient’s strongest response modalities and helps guide therapy
