The Test of Pragmatic Language Second Edition (TOPL-2) expands the original test for an even more in-depth and comprehensive analysis of social communication in context. Its four principal uses include:

1. identifying individuals with pragmatic language deficits
2. determining individual strengths and weaknesses
3. documenting an individual' s progress
4. researching pragmatic language skills. This updated edition addresses reviewers' concerns with the previous edition, adding and improving on important components such as:
   

1. Pragmatic Evaluation - focuses on a student' s ability to monitor and appraise the effectiveness of the response to resolve the social problem situation.
2. Detailed IEP' s - addresses students with emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, behavior problems, Asperger' s Spectrum Disorders, language impairments, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders, and Depression and Anxiety Disorders. Includes goals, objectives, and progress monitoring.
3. Clinical Interpretive Framework - allows the test user to see at a glance which components of the model are relevant to each item.
4. Extended Norms - provides an assessment for all school-aged students up to age 18-11, allowing older students to benefit from an assessment of pragmatic language. Examines further the relationship between behavioral problems and pragmatic difficulties.
5. Color Picture Prompts - aids in evaluation, clarity, and student interest in an easy to use easel-back format. Picture content has also been updated to reflect more accurately the environment of children and adolescents.
6. Verbal Prompts - reflects more accurately the environment of children and adolescents.
7. Comprehensive Scoring Guideline - indicates the components that each response measures, with multiple correct/incorrect response samples.
   

This test was originally designed for use by speech-language pathologists.  However, with the ever-increasing emphasis on social skills and conflict resolution in students, theTOPL-2 test provides essential information for all team members: school psychologists, counselors, clinical psychologists, and special education specialists.  These varied team members now use the TOPL-2 as part of a full individual evaluation and program planning, and were part of TOPL-2 development and norming.
