The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is atest for people who have acquired aphasia and can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. Thetest includes a user manual, aring-boundcognitive screen andlanguage battery, a ring-bound disability questionnaire and a scoring booklet. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test, the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. An optional innovative disability questionnaire explores the impact of aphasia from the perspective of the person with aphasia. In addition the CAT helps the therapist to track changes over the course of recovery, and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. It is supported by normative data on people both with an without aphasia, and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to:
Identify underlying impairments
Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries
Ascertain the practical, psychological and social impact of aphasia
Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy.
Structured around fully up-to-date models of language processing from cognitive neuropsychology this test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes.
