Western Aphasia Battery - Revised (WAB-R)


A complete battery and a bedside instrument to quickly diagnose moderate to severe aphasia

The Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R) assesses linguistic skills most frequently affected by aphasia, plus key nonlinguistic skills, and provides differential diagnosis information. Adaptable to various administration settings from hospital rooms to clinics, it provides a baseline level of performance to measure change over time.

WAB-R is an individually administered assessment for adults with acquired neurological disorders (e.g., as a result of stroke, head injury, dementia). It classifies the type and severity of aphasia disorder (if present) and gives a clinically valid baseline for diagnosis, prognosis and research.

Age range: 18 years to 89 years
