LANGUAGE:

Emma's language was assessed using the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals:
Preschool-Third Edition (CELF:P-3) assesses receptive and expressive language ability. The
CELF:P-3 explores the foundations of language form and content: word meanings, word and
sentence structure, and recall of spoken language. The CELF:P-3 is comprised of six subtests,
three in receptive language and three in expressive language areas for children ages 3 years to 6
years and 11 months old. Each subtest yields a scaled score where 10 is the mean and scores
from 7-13 are the range of average. Then each area’s subtests are then calculated to give a
standard score where 100 is the mean and 85-115 is the range of average.

Emma's performance on the CELF:P-3 yielded the following scores:


Subtest Scaled Scores

Sentence Comprehension 5 5 4:5
Word Structure 3 1 <3:0
Expressive Vocabulary 2 0.4 <3:0

Core Language Score


The Core Language Score is a measure of general language ability and provides an
easy and reliable way to quantify Emma's overall language performance. Emma
received a Core Language Score of 66. This places Emma in the very low range of
language functioning. For Emma's Core Language Score, the following subtests were
administered: Sentence Comprehension, Word Structure, and Expressive Vocabulary.
Sentence Comprehension
The Sentence Comprehension subtest is used to evaluate the child's ability to interpret
spoken sentences of increasing length and complexity. The child identifies a picture
that matches the sentence read aloud by the examiner.
Emma received a scaled score of 5 on the Sentence Comprehension subtest.

Word Structure
The Word Structure subtest is used to evaluate the child's ability to (a) apply word
structure rules (morphology) to mark inflections, derivations, and comparison and (b)
select and use appropriate pronouns to refer to people, objects, and possessive
relationships. The child completes a sentence (cloze procedure) with the target
structure(s).
Emma received a scaled score of 3 on the Word Structure subtest.

Expressive Vocabulary
The Expressive Vocabulary subtest is used to evaluate the child's ability to label
images of people, objects, attributes, and actions (referential naming). The child
names an object, person, or activity portrayed in a picture.
Emma received a scaled score of 2 on the Expressive Vocabulary subtest.

Receptive Language Index


The Receptive Language Index is a measure of Emma's performance on three subtests
designed to assess receptive aspects of language including listening and auditory
comprehension. Emma received a Receptive Language Index score of 77. This places
Emma in the low range of receptive language functioning. For Emma's Receptive
Language Index score, the following subtests were administered: Sentence
Comprehension (scaled score=5, see above), Following Directions, and Word
Classes.

Following Directions
The Following Directions subtest is used to evaluate the child's ability to (a) interpret
spoken directions of increasing length and complexity; (b) remember the names,
characteristics, and order of mention of pictures; and (c) identify the targets from
among several choices. The child points to pictures in response to oral directions.
Emma received a scaled score of 5 on the Following Directions subtest.

Word Classes
The Word Classes subtest is used to evaluate the child's ability to perceive
relationships between words that are related by semantic class features. The child
chooses two words/pictures that are related from a choice of three or four
words/pictures.
Emma received a scaled score of 9 on the Word Classes subtest, within the average
range.

Expressive Language Index


The Expressive Language Index is a measure of Emma's performance on three
subtests designed to assess expressive aspects of language including oral language
expression. Emma received an Expressive Language Index score of 57. This places
Emma in the very low range of expressive language functioning. For Emma's
Expressive Language Index score, the following subtests were administered: Word
Structure (scaled score=3, see above), Expressive Vocabulary (scaled score=2, see
above), and Recalling Sentences.

Recalling Sentences
The Recalling Sentences subtest is used to evaluate the child's ability to listen to
spoken sentences of increasing length and complexity and repeat the sentences
without changing word meanings, inflections, derivations or comparisons
(morphology), or sentence structure (syntax). The child imitates sentences presented
by the examiner.
Emma received a scaled score of 2 on the Recalling Sentences subtest.

Language Content Index


The Language Content Index is a measure of Emma's performance on three tests
designed to assess various aspects of semantic development. Emma received a
Language Content Index score of 69. This places Emma in the very low range of
functioning. For Emma's Language Content Index score, the following tests were
administered: Expressive Vocabulary (scaled score=2, see above), Following
Directions (scaled score=5, see above), and Word Classes (scaled score=9, see
above).

Language Structure Index


The Language Structure Index is a measure of Emma's performance on three subtests
designed to assess the understanding and use of language form. Emma received a
Language Structure Index score of 65. This places Emma in the very low range of
functioning.
For Emma's Language Structure Index score, the following subtests were
administered: Sentence Comprehension (scaled score=5, see above), Word
Structure (scaled score=3, see above), and Recalling Sentences (scaled score=2, see
above).
Basic Concepts
The Basic Concepts subtest is used to evaluate the child's knowledge of concepts
including direction/location/position, number/quantity, sequence, attributes,
dimension/size, same/different, and inclusion/exclusion. The child points to a picture
that illustrates the target concept presented by the examiner. Emma received a scaled
score of 6 on the Basic Concepts subtest.
