ITPA refers to "Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities" (designed to measure acquisition and use of language)

Some info:

"Population: Ages 4-8 years.

Score: Scaled Scores and a Composite Score.

Time: (60) minutes.

Authors: Samuel A. Kirk, James J. McCarthy, and Winifred D. Kirk.

Publishers: University of Illinois Press.

Description: The Revised Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) is an individually administered test for children aged 4-8 years, measuring 12 functions employed in the acquisition and use of language.

Scoring: The test consists of 10 main subtests (Auditory Reception, Visual Reception, Auditory Association, Visual Association, Verbal Expression, Manual Expression, Grammatic Closure, Visual Closure, Auditory Sequential Memory, and Visual Sequential Memory) and two supplementary subtests (Auditory Closure and Sound Blending). Raw scores for each subtest are used to derive Scaled Scores for each subtest, a Composite Score, Psycholinguistic Age Scores for subtests and Composite, and Psycholinguistic Quotients for subtests and Composite. The book entitled Psycholinguistic Learning Disabilities: Diagnosis and Remediation, by Samuel A. Kirk and Winifred D. Kirk is offered in the testing library as a supplement to those using this test."

I'm not sure how the "sequential" bit fits there (some refs point to sequential tests, others to sequential memory, but maybe someone else will figure it out :-)

along the lines of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA)

The contemporary American attitude of a close relationship seen between linguistics, psychology, and neurology originates from the work of Russian and Polish physiologists Bekhterev, Pavlov, Vygot­sky, Luria, Konorski, and others (see Mowrer, 1976). As a result, psycholinguistics in North America was originally an outcome of the study of abnormal verbal behavior: speech hesitations, stuttering, asphasia—the study of which gave rise to the Illinois Test of Psycho­linguistic Abilities, an instrument known as ITPA and now widely used in many parts of the world for diagnosing speech development problems (Taraskevopoulos and Kirk, 1969). ‘Communication theory’ was one of the original outcomes of this approach to language (see Osgood and Sebeok, 1954); it subsequently expanded into several disciplines including psychology, psychiatry, aesthetics, and language teaching, where it was known as the Audiolingual Method or Approach. In linguistics, communication theory and cognitive psychology have joined forces as a socio-politically oriented discipline called Sociolinguistics (language planning, government policy, socioeconomic markers in speech, etc.).

See ref: it's very interesting, and may help a great deal...
