The Capute Scales: Cognitive Adaptive Test and Clinical Linguistic Auditory Milestone Scale (CAT/CLAMS)

Fast and easy to complete, The Capute Scales requires minimal equipment and can be administered in just 6 to 20 minutes. Because the tests measure functioning across two streams of development, they help clinicians distinguish between global developmental delays and specific areas of concern. Created for clinical settings, The Capute Scales is an effective and efficient assessment tool for general pediatric practice and for specialists such as developmental pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists. This standardized instrument will assist clinicians in making developmental diagnoses, counseling families, and guiding them to appropriate intervention services. The complete system includes
