I use the CAAP to test articulationa and phonology. When a child does not have the voacabulary to label a picture you are permitted to give the label for the child to imitate. My feeling is if the child can imitate the sounds in words, then it is in their repertoire. At the least it is an emerging sound. We are looking at their ability to make the sounds. Overall, I have not found that imitation has skewed the results as almost always they can make those same sounds on their own. If you see that his intelligibility is worse during a spontaneous response you can make note of this situation in your report. Yet, it may be due instead to his lack of confidence in naming the the stimulus picture. Also, you can compare how he says a specific sound in a simple naming task like the word "dog" and compare it to him having to imitate a more complex word that has that same sound.
