Designed for use with children ages 6-16 recovering from brain
injury, PTBI(TM) is the only criterion-referenced, standardized
test that assesses the skills children need to return to school and
function in the general education curriculum. An effective and
innovative tool, PTBI helps speech-language pathologists and other
clinicians determine children's curriculum-relevant neurocognitive,
language, and literacy abilities so they can identify strengths and
weaknesses and implement effective interventions. PTBI is also an
essential tool for monitoring functional changes, tracking recovery
patterns over time, and guiding decision-making related to school
reintegration.
Equally useful for assessing children with acquired or traumatic
brain injury, PTBI is
- rigorously tested using cutting-edge item response theory (IRT)
analysis and traditional test development methods, yielding strong
evidence of reliability and validity
- focused on areas critical to school success, such as listening,
speaking, reading, writing, gesturing, working memory, and problem
solving
- easy to complete in just 30 minutes--won't overburden children
likely to be fatigued or have attention issues
- field tested at trauma, rehab centers, and clinics across the
country
- useful anytime during the recovery process--to assess abilities
in the acute phases and to monitor progress on an ongoing
basis
- easy to administer and score--the forms include concise,
specific instructions for accurate use of PTBI
The complete PTBI includes all the components necessary for
successful test administration: an Examiner's Manual with
comprehensive guidelines and technical data; a Stimulus Book with
all the visual stimuli needed to conduct the test; and Test Forms
for recording information about the child's performance and scoring
PTBI.
The first and only standardized test that assesses cognitive and
academic skills after brain injury, PTBI is the tool every SLP
needs to develop effective supports for children and get them ready
for a successful return to the classroom.
Assess critical skill sets with the ten PTBI subtests:
- Orientation tasks: such as naming the current place, date, and
year
- Following commands: assesses skills such as attention, verbal
memory, and listening comprehension
- Word fluency: assesses executive skills for self-guided word
search and memory
- What goes together: tests semantic/conceptual knowledge,
vocabulary, verbal expression and flexibility
- Digit span: sequence recall of two to seven numbers requires
immediate memory, auditory attention and speech output
- Naming: uses word retrieval, visual perception and recognition,
vocabulary, and spoken language output as children are shown a
drawing and asked to name items
- Story retelling--immediate: assesses comprehension and recall
of a narrative
- Yes/no/maybe: questions about a story read aloud measure
language comprehension with complex syntax
- Picture recall and signature: calls on delayed retrospective
memory, visuospatial and graphomotor skills
- Story retelling--delayed: measures recall of earlier task story
for understanding of auditory verbal information organized as
meaningful narrative
