By Nancy Buono Fluharty
  • Ages: Children 3.0 through 6.11
  • Testing Time: 10 minutes
  • Norm-referenced; standard scores, percentiles and age equivalents
  • Complete Flurharty-2 kit includes Examiner's Manual, Picture Book, 25 Profile/Examiner Record Forms, and a set of 12 colored blocks, all in a sturdy storage box. (2000)

The Fluharty Preschool Speech and Language Screening Test-Second Edition (Fluharty-2) contains five subtests: Articulation, Repeating Sentences, Responding to Directives and Answering Questions, and Describing Actions and Sequencing Events. 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.
  • 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.
