Evaluate the Presence, Severity, and Qualitative Aspects of Aphasic Disorder
The MAE assesses three different aspects of oral expression—naming, sentence repetition, and verbal associative capacity.
Features and benefits
- Three tests assess oral verbal understanding; one test assesses reading comprehension; and three tests assess oral, written, and block spelling.
- Speech articulation and the fluency-nonfluency dimension of expressive speech are rated, but not systematically sampled. Writing is evaluated through a test of written spelling.
- Two normative samples are used: individuals ages 16–69 years and children ages 6–12 years.
Available in Spanish
The MAE Kit has been adapted into U.S. Spanish. It includes a Spanish manual, Reading Stimulus Cards, Visual Stimulus Cards, set of tokens, and 100 each of all forms. Normative data are based on a sample of Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican participants.
