[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP answer to last post:
 
She had PLS-5 (total language score 120) and Arizona articulation std score of 103 at age 2 yr 8 mo.  The school district here said "these are not qualifying scores but re-test in fall to determine qualification."  I'll ask to have her tested in DC.

Her long-time SLP did the testing and it seemed to me that she understood way more of my daughter's speech than a stranger would, simply b/c she knows her so well. I imagine SLPs are trained to listen "objectively" but I do wonder if she would score lower if done by someone new.

Those scores will definitely not qualify her - but in reality that's a good thing.  120 is amazing for a total language score since 100 is considered average!  But, yes, it can't hurt to re evaluate her.  I would ask for them to do a language sample with an intelligibility rating - because typically articulation tests target single words versus spontaneous language.  So even if her articulation is good, there could be difficulty understanding her everyday speech.   [/quote]
