New Features of the CADL-3

Technical and Statistical Characteristics of CADL-3

The CADL-3 was normed on a sample of 115 adults with neurogenic communication disorders resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia, primary progressive aphasia, or other type of brain insult. The test yields percentile ranks and index scores. The Examiner's Manual includes a comprehensive discussion of the test's theoretical and research-based foundation, item development, standardization, administration and scoring procedures, norms tables, and guidelines for using and interpreting the results.

CADL-3 coefficient alpha and test-retest reliability are both .94. Validity studies demonstrate the test's ability to differentiate persons with impaired functional communication from those with normal functional communication.
