Scores reflect performance in articulation, receptive language, expressive language, and composite language. The Fluharty-2 provides rapid identification of those preschool children for whom a complete speech and language evaluation is recommended. The Fluharty-2 is a complete revision, normed on 705 children in 21 states. Sample populations represent the geographical distribution of the United States in 1998 and projected figures for 2000.
Test Reliability: coefficient alphas and test-retest correlations are high enough to warrant individual administration of the Fluharty-2.
Validity: Content validity studies related the test's content to current developmental studies and provided thorough individual item analysis. Criterion-related validity studies compared subtests of the Fluharty-2 to the TOLD-P:3 composites. Results demonstrated a strong correlation between the two instruments. Construct validity measures support the Fluharty-2 as a valid screening tool for use with preschool children.
Limiting Bias: Examination of items on the Fluharty-2 indicated little or no bias relative to gender, disability, racial, socioeconomic or ethnic group.
Features of this major revision include:
> The Fluharty-2 is easy to administer quickly and is appealing to children. It is appropriate for use with individuals between the ages of 3-0 and 6-11 who can understand the directions of the subtests and who are able to formulate the necessary responses.
> The Fluharty-2 provides standard scores (M = 100, SD = 15) and percentiles for subtests and composites. There are age equivalents for the composites.
> The kit contains all necessary manipulatives.
> There is space on the record form for noting phonological process errors, voice quality, and fluency.
> Teacher Questionnaires allow for collaboration when assessing children in school populations.
> The Fluharty-2 is a norm-referenced screening test designed and thoroughly analyzed to provide "good" statistical information.
> The theoretical model for the Fluharty-2 follows current language development information.
The complete FLUHARTY-2 kit incluces an Examiner's Manual, Picture Book, 25 Profile/Examiner Record Forms, and Blocks, all in a sturdy storage box.
