The Test of Adolescent and Adult Language: Third Edition (TOAL-3) is a language assessment that is norm based and used for individuals between 12 and 25 years old. The test measures receptive, written and expressive language. A speech language pathologist (SLP) administers the test and rates the score based on a normative process.

Components

The TOAL-3 is a specific language assessment measuring: listening, speaking, reading, writing, spoken language, written language, vocabulary, grammar, receptive language and expressive language.

Validity
