Full Product Description

PLS–5UK offers you a comprehensive developmental language assessment, with items that range from pre–verbal, interaction–based skills to emerging language and early literacy.

Benefits

  • Streamlined Administration
  • Improvements to test items: PLS–5UK includes modifications that better elicit target responses and make the items easier to administer and score.
  • Approximately 25% of the items on PLS–5UK are new; 50% have been modified based on clinician feedback and expert review; 25% are unchanged.
  • Addition of growth scale values: PLS–5UK now includes Growth Scale Values that were developed so that you can track progress for children from birth to age 7.
  • Now to Age 7: Now you are able to assess language from emerging communication behaviours through emerging language and literacy skills to age 7:11.
  • Updated articulation screener: You can now test multiple phonemes within words. PLS–5UK includes picture stimuli to elicit target words. The screener takes less than 2 minutes to administer.

 

Features

  • Link the Home Communication Questionnaire items directly to test tasks to serve as a baseline for testing.
  • Target interaction, attention, vocal/gestural behaviours, and different levels of play for children from Birth to 2:11
  • Assess preschool children with new items for letter naming and book handling, and updated school readiness skills
  • Better elicit target responses due to test item modifications that are based on examiner feedback
  • Minimise transitions between the play and picture pointing tasks now that test items with manipulatives are grouped to streamline administration
  • Engage children with the new Picture Manual featuring large, colourful illustrations
  • Many of the manipulatives are plastic (including Mr. Bear) so they can be wiped clean after each administration
