The Speech and Literacy Center is looking for subjects to help provide normative data for the revision to The Listening Test, published by Linguisystems.



Participants will be asked to listen to short paragraphs and then will be asked questions regarding the information in the material read to them. Total testing time averages one hour or less. Subjects should be at least six years old but not older than eleven, and enrolled in a regular or special education setting.

Linguisytems is conducting this 600 subject study to determine which items are age progressive and which items should be thrown out of the standardized version of this test. The study dates will be open from October 17th to December 16th.



Sheila Baranski, M.H.S.-CCC-SLP will be administering this study, pointing out that this is "a unique opportunity for us to have a hand in shaping this test; our results combined with the results of other therapists nationwide will determine the norms for this test."
