The Test of Adolescent and Adult Language: Third Edition (TOAL-3) is a language assessment that is norm based and used for individuals between 12 and 25 years old. The test measures receptive, written and expressive language. A speech language pathologist, (or SLP) administers the test and rates the score based on a normative process.

[edit] Validity
Results regarding this language assessment are consistent. However, when measuring language there can be many variables and much is left to tester inference.
