The Hodson Assessment of Phonological Patterns–Third Edition (HAPP–3) is a valid, reliable, standardized test that is norm-referenced and also criterion-referenced. The HAPP–3, as well as its predecessors (the APP and the APP–R), was designed for children with highly unintelligible speech. Some major improvements include:
  • provision of normative data and technical information,
  • stimulus words and phonetic transcriptions that have been updated and internationalized
  • comprehensive evaluation analysis forms that are larger and user-friendly.
  • This third edition (formerly the APP–R) is now norm-referenced as well as criterion-referenced.
  • The HAPP–3 stimulus words and transcriptions have been "internationalized."
  • Two screening components are included—Multisyllabic Words and Preschool.
Objects that conform to the choke-proof guidelines recognized by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are now included.
 
The HAPP–3 comprehensive phonological evaluation can be administered in less than 20 minutes. Objects and a few pictures are used to elicit 50 stimulus words. HAPP–3 results are used for
  • coding and categorizing phonological deviations,
  • determining severity intervals/ratings (mild, moderate, severe, profound) along a continuum,
  • identifying major phonological patterns that need to be targeted (for goal statement)
  • obtaining scores for documenting treatment effects over time (for evidence-based practice).
 
Two screening tools also are included (12 stimulus words for each). The child’s productions are transcribed, analyzed, and summarized on either the Preschool Phonological Screening Record Form (for children 2 years of age and older) or the Multisyllabic Word Screening Record Form (for students 8 years of age and older). The screening instruments, which can be administered in less than 5 minutes, yield results that help the examiner determine whether further testing is needed.
