“I would recommend TILLS to any and all school-based SLPs.”
Review by: Sue Torney, M.A., CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
“The TILLS is the most comprehensive assessment I’ve used in the 20 years I’ve been a school-based speech-language pathologist. The Common Core Standards are heavily laden with complex language. School-based SLPs need a comprehensive assessment that identifies those language deficits for our students.”

“With TILLS, I can give one assessment and get a wealth of information rather than giving multiple assessments, which I am currently having to do.”
Review by: Shannon Bryant, M.S., CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
“Students all enjoyed the test. It seemed to move quickly and kept their attention. Those who were retested even liked taking the test a second time.”
Review by: Staci Brown, MA-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
“Based on the TILLS, it will be easier to relate my goals and student performance to curriculum. There are many components that make this test useful and correlate to academic standards.”

“[TILLS] culls out and differentiates problematic areas of language and literacy, as well as areas of strength, that no other formal measures accomplish. Findings gleaned from TILLS offer productive avenues to probe in the context of follow-up treatment. TILLS offers a unique and seminal contribution to language and literacy assessment.”

“Very easy to administer and score.… I expect the TILLS to be a major component in the evaluation of my students in the future.”
Review by: Stephen MacCormack, M.S., SLP/CCC, Ed.S., private practice and school-based reading specialist
“Targets high-priority language and literacy skills in a thorough manner … I plan to use TILLS as an integral part of my diagnostic process to build a more complete and accurate profile of a student/client’s language and literacy proficiency.”
Review by: Elizabeth DeBoer, Ed.S., school psychologist
“TILLS looks at reading, writing, and language in more depth than any other assessment I have used. I am thrilled to use TILLS to help identify academic challenges of my students with learning disabilities.”
