Full Definition
The Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation-3 is a widely used standardized assessment that evaluates consonant production in words and sentences. It provides age-based norms for comparing a client's articulation skills to typical peers. The test includes sounds-in-words and sounds-in-sentences subtests, with stimulability testing to assess potential for improvement. This assessment is essential for diagnosing articulation disorders and establishing baseline performance for treatment planning.
