Selected speech and language assessment instruments are available for preview and loan only to certified speech and language pathologists (SLPs) who reside or work in Indiana. SLPs may wish to borrow the instruments for preview, training, or for limited use to assess students with low incidence disabilities.
The following materials may be checked out for four weeks from the Center for Disability Information and Referral (CeDIR), Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, Indiana's University Center for Excellence on Disabilities (UCE), 2853 East Tenth Street, Bloomington, IN 47408-2696; 800/437-7924 (toll free; voice/text telephone); 812/855-9396 (Bloomington; voice/text telephone). Due to the sales agreement, a copy of the current SLP license document (i.e., teacher certification or Health Professions Bureau license) must be on file prior to loan of the materials. Additionally, a CeDIR registration card must be completed.
Each instrument is available on a first come, first served basis. There may be a waiting list for a particular item. Only three items can be checked out at one time. People interested in purchasing any of these instruments can contact CeDIR for ordering information. Neither the Institute nor CeDIR confer endorsement of the instruments by listing them below.
It is not always practical for a school district or an agency to purchase extensive speech and language assessment material. The Indiana Institute on Disability and Community has a collection of materials that may assist Indiana speech language pathologists. Some materials are on restricted checkout and others are available to anyone. Suggestions or comments about items can be directed to Beverly Vicker at 812/855-6508 or vickerb@indiana.edu.
