Acquired childhood aphasia (ACA) refers to the language impairments that may follow a brain lesion sustained after the age of acquisition of first sentences. The CAAST is designed to identify language disturbances in brain- damaged children in the three to seven year old age group who acquire ACA following accident or illness. The test was constructed along the same systematic sensory-motor input/output multi-modality framework as the adult Aphasia Screening Test. The 25 subtests (each of 5 items), 12 for assessment of comprehension and 13 for assessment of production, were carefully selected to be suitable for children aged from 2 to 7 years. Test materials were designed to be simple, unambiguous, easy to administer and manipulate. The test was normed on 108 healthy children in the age range from 3 to 7 years. The screening battery was used to assess several children with ACA and provided a profile of qualitative and qualitative of pre-linguistic and linguistic impairments. This profile provides an objective basis for planning management and treatment. Re- assessment produces objective outcome measures of changes in pre-linguistic and linguistic function. The battery consists of 5 subtests of visual perception which involve matching objects, shapes, pictures and colours. One pre-reading test requires matching letter -like shapes. Six auditory language subtests involve selecting objects, pictures, colours, animal action pictures and pictures of object by function. Tests for speech and language production include 4 pre speech tests where the child imitates tongue movements, animal sounds, speech sounds and counts aloud from one to ten. Language production tests include picture confrontation naming, sentence formulation, picture description and conversational responses. Additionally there are drawing , copying and gestural tests. The CAAST is box packed and consists of:1 CAAST Test Display Book (spiral bound, p.24)1 CAAST Test Instruction Manual (including normative data and patient profiles, p.42) 10 CAAST Test Objects 25 CAAST Test Cards *10 CAAST Assessment Record Forms *10 CAAST Pass/Fail Record Forms *10 CAAST Summary Record Forms *10 CAAST Transcription Record Forms *10 CAAST Drawing and Copying Forms *Items may be purchased separately: 1999 £150.00 ISBN 1 89763 588 5

One of the most fascinating problems in Behavioural Neurology is the question of the cerebral organization for language during childhood. Acquired aphasia in children, albeit rare, is a unique circumstance in which to study the relations between language and the brain during cerebral maturation. Its study further contributes to our understanding of the recovery processes and brain plasticity during childhood. But while there is a great amount of information and experimental work on brain-behaviour relationships in adult subjects, the literature about the effects of focal brain lesions in children is both exiguous and scattered throughout scientific journals and books. We felt it was time to organize a meeting where scientists in this field could compare their experiences and discuss ideas coming from different areas of research. A workshop on Acquired Aphasia in Children was held in Sintra, Portugal, on September 13-15, 1990, and attended by 44 participants from 13 differents countries. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal and the group was kept small to achieve this effect. It was a very lively and pleasant meeting. Some consensus was indeed arrived at concerning methodological problems, definition of terms, and guidelines for future research. The main contributions are collected in this book which, we hope, will serve the scientific community as a reference work on Childhood Aphasia. I,P.M., AC.C.

This is a hugely successful, tried and tested assessment for adults with acquired aphasia. Used by more than 2,000 speech & language therapists, this user-friendly and enjoyable assessment is straightforward to use, easy to interpret and clinically effective. Portable and suitable for bedside assessment, the responses can now be digitally recorded on the accompanying CD Rom. Designed for severely- to moderately-impaired aphasic adults, the AST is a sensitive and comprehensive clinical tool for obtaining a profile of the communication and language processes of listening, understanding, speaking, reading and writing. The responses are entered onto the computer programme to produce clear test results and profile summaries outlining the main strengths and weaknesses of the patient, thus facilitating treatment plans. Once analysed, the profile defines areas of language disturbances in order to help plan treatment, and re-testing provides an objective measure of changes in a patient's language and communication functions. Used successfully for more than 30 years, the AST is the benchmark for aphasia screening. Now with an interactive CD Rom, this third edition is an essential resource for all clinicians working with adults.

The Aphasia Screening Test (AST) is a standardised, comprehensive yet simple screening test battery designed specifically for use with older adults with acquired aphasia during the early stages of evaluation, to identify severe to moderate levels of language disturbance. The AST is a short, practical clinical tool, easy to use and administer. It provides an objective baseline of language impairment. It yields quantitative as well as qualitative information, providing a profile on which to base treatment. Re–testing produces objective outcome measures of changes in language function. There are 50 short subtests (each of 5 items) organised in levels of difficulty from simple to complex, 20 which asses the input modalities of auditory and reading comprehension and 28 which assess the output modalities of oral and written language production. There are 2 subtests of calculation. Factor analysis of the AST resulted in six clear and statistically significant factors providing evidence for the reliability and internal consistency of the AST. A discriminant analysis resulted in identifying the most discriminating sub tests and provided the basis of the 10 subtest(4 input and 6 output). "The Short Form" AST can be used as an initial screen for patients who can not respond to the full 50 subtests procedure. The second edition of the Aphasia Screening Test is box packed and contains: 1 AST Test Display Book(41 pages spiral bound) 1 AST Test Instruction Manual (including 14 case histories, 57 pages) 1 AST Test Statistics Manual (full standardisation data , 71 pages) 1 AST booklet of 45 Test Cards (spiral bound) 5 AST Test Objects ∗10 AST Test Composite Assessment Record Forms ∗10 AST Test Writing Booklets 1 AST Short Form AST 10 Subtest Display Booklet and Instruction Manual (spiral bound , 16 pages) 5 AST Short Form Test Cards ∗10 AST Short Form Assessment Record Forms ∗10 AST Short Form Writing Booklets ∗Further copies of these items may be downloaded at www.wiley.com/go/aphasiascreeningtest
