There are two parts to the TALC assessment:

Part I involves a picture assessment.
The topics for the six pictures have been carefully chosen to reflect the experiences of a wide and diverse population.
The child is shown a picture or is given four pictures to put in the correct order.
The assessor asks the questions listed on the score sheet and notes can be made about the child's response.
There are 70 questions.
Part II of the TALC gives a list of the types of questions which can be adapted to suit all situations so that assessment can take place during natural communicative interactions.
A simple record sheet is provided.
All the score forms can be photocopied for multiple use.
