The purpose of this paper is to present: (1) a diagnostic model for the assessment of word finding (2) a literature review that supports this model (3) a formalised measure, the Test of Word Finding (TWF), which executes this diagnostic model for children. Although research in this area has continued to document strong correlations between word-finding skills and low reading achievement, dyslexia, language disorders, learning disabilities, and stuttering there have been no formal standardised measures for the assessment of word-finding skills in children. There has been a diagnostic gap in the assessment of word-finding disorders in children.
