Abstract:
This article describes a survey completed by 728 neuropsychologists for the purpose of gathering information about the assessment of reading in adults as part of neuropsychological examinations. The survey information gathered addressed (a) the general frequency of assessing adult reading, (b) the assessment tools used, (c) the general purposes for the assessment of reading, (d) the need for a review describing available adult reading norm-referenced tests, and (e) the need for the development of criterion-referenced reading tests appropriate for determining functional reading abilities. Survey findings are reported and discussed. A list and description of reading tests appropriate for assessing reading in adults also is provided in the Appendix.
