Hi!
We got our copy of Nick's official Speech eval today. I thought I would give you a breakdown of the results as I know I muddled them the other today. She wrote a great report, said some really positive things and also laid it out where he was lacking as well, didnt sugar coat anything. Here are his scores:
Test scores at C.A. 5-5 years
Primary/Verbal Language (CASL)
Core Composite: 95
Subtests:
Antonyms: Standard Score - 118
Syntax Construction: standard score - 107
Paragraph Comprehension: standard score - 80
Pragmatic Judgement: standard score - 79
Phonological Awareness (PAT)
Rhymining: standard score - 116
Segmentation: standard score - 106
Isolation: standard score - 110
Deletion: standard score - 110
Emergent Written Language (OWLS)
Standard score - 84 with contributory weakness in sequential encodeing and a questionable fine motor deficit.
Some of her comments: High average to superior language abilities in select, basic lexical, semantic and syntactic language processes although one must not base conclusions alone as significant discrepencies are noted in these parameters in comparision to his performance on critical listening, recall and pragmatic language (related to AS). Evidence of a comcomitant language processing impairment which may be associated with his earlier history of ear infections with concimitant conductive hearing loss. Demonstrates excellent prerequisite phonological awareness skills; concerns in regards to his emergent written language (sequential encodeing and very poor fine motor performance); array of sensory integration impairments is strongly suspected, pedantic speech observed, no dysphagia reported, intermittent atypical prosody, stereotypic speech quality style reported (what does this mean??); oppositional quality is strongly associated with initial transition between activities; exhibits excellent ability to retrieve antonyms from given common words to a level way beyond his current chronological age expectations; deterioration in accuracy of performance noted when asked to listen to auditorially presented story content and to answer questions (yet able to remember his narrow interests); most paramount need is pragmatic language funcions where innapropriate requests, polite responses, etc, are quite prevalent; On other hand demonstrates extreme, comparative strength in phonological awareness skills. demonstrates affinity for early resding skills, although not truly hyperlexic. Recommend once or twice weekly speech, plus aide in classroom at school.
There was a whole list of recommendations and treatment, but that was the major points.
