Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test-Plus (CLQT+) Kit

The criterion-referenced Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test (CLQT™+) quickly assesses strengths and weaknesses in five cognitive domains, and adds an optional administration path for people with aphasia.

The CLQT+ test may be used as a standalone overview assessment that gives a broad perspective across relevant domains of cognition and language, and/or in connection with other assessment tools in a battery.

Benefits

  • Assess attention, memory, executive functions, language, and visuospatial skills.
  • Monitor intervals in recovery, assess driving readiness, measure language competency, and for research of adults with multiple types of neurological impact.
  • Clearer interpretation for people with aphasia.
  • Use for patients of all severity levels.
  • Effective tool for English or Spanish-speaking adults with known or suspected neurological impairment as a result of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or dementia.

Features

CLQT+ offers two standard administration paths: Traditional Administration and Aphasia Administration.

  • Clearer interpretation for people with aphasia; one new semantic comprehension task and scoring for several elements within the current tasks.
  • Original CLQT: one pilot (n=13) and three studies (n=92, 154, and 119, respectively) established the reliability and validity of the CLQT.
