Squirrel Story (Paper Based)
The Squirrel Story Narrative Assessment complements the more formal assessment tools available to the speech-language therapist or teacher. It provides a profile around 6 key areas of narrative in young children. Quick to administer, easy to score.
Aims: Although the tool’s primary use is with children who have language delay and disorders, the assessment can be used for children with a variety of language needs whether the primary deficit is due to disorder, delay or language deprivation.
The ‘Squirrel Story’ is not norm referenced, however guideline scores are presented from a sample of 100 children. The illustrated booklet now has updated pictures, these are the same as on the iPad App
