[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. We did the PSL-5. I think it has a functional use aspect. But I'm not sure. [/quote]

School psychologist here again. I dislike the PLS (preschool language scales) because it uses 6 month norms, which is ridiculous. So a kid who is tested just before his third birthday - so technically 2 years, 11 months will be compared to children 2 years, 6 months to 2 years, 11 months. So let's say that kid gets a raw score (answers correctly) of 30(I am making up scores because I don't have the manual in front of me) that kid might get a standard score of 85, percentile rank of 16 (child scored equal to or better than 16 percent of kids in that age bracket),which speech therapists would say is in the average range so not eligible for services. If you waited a day and tested that kid on his third birthday, he will be compared to kids 3 years, 0 months to 3years, 5 months and 30 days. The standard score would be around 75, percentile rank of 5 (only better than or equal to 5 percent of kids in that age bracket). Now the kid  is eligible for special Ed. services. 
So how old exactly was your child because it really matters when they just meet or miss an age cut off.[/quote]

He was 4.3 months. [/quote]

He also scored low average in the CELF-p for receptive by another slp. Definitely low average, not a fluke of the test.[/quote]
