Nice that examiner prompts are included in stimulus for student

# data[].attributes.body
Includes observational rating scale in listening, speaking, reading, and writing (behaviors

# data[].attributes.body
Very confusing wording

Variable point differences in expressive language scoring--- more descriptive answers receive 2 points, etc.

I am confused as to how this is testing language.

SUB-CONTEXTS of S-D-S Model:
Situational- phys. context & audiences

morphological comprehension
multiple meanings

Cultural biases in the subtest morphological comprehension

# data[].attributes.body
Children ages 6-7 are only required to be scored on 1-17 while children 8 and older are scored on all 43 test items

# data[].attributes.body
I could imagine a child getting easily bored by the time they get to the last problem.  All questions have a similar format.

# data[].attributes.body
When giving the picture card part of the test, it got difficult for us a the end of list of words. Some also seemed to have multiple answers that children could give.

# data[].attributes.body
Determine strengths/weakness in subtests-- good for teachers when planning interventions for the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Requires pragmatic responses as well as immediate responses. Some of the pragmatic responses would be difficult to verbalize.

# data[].attributes.body

Why can't 91 year olds take this test? Why is there an upper age limit?

# data[].attributes.body
SUBTESTS: block design, similarities, coding, recall, letter/number sequence, matrix reasoning, comprehension, symbol search, picture completion, cancellation, information, arithmetic, word reasoning, object assembly, picture arrangement

# data[].attributes.body
Test is appropriate for children who speak English and understand directions

# data[].attributes.body
Student looks at pictures and answer questions for 1,2, or 3 points.

# data[].attributes.body
Uses manipulatives for students to recreate

# data[].attributes.body
Score is only 0 or 1 points, there are examples of what would be rewarded a point

# data[].attributes.body
A strong measure of general intelligence & problem-solving. Assesses g-factor (Spearman), etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Shows a graphical profile on the scoring sheet

# data[].attributes.body
In picture concepts, there could be multiple answers that children come up with that could also be correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Age range 4-0 to 90-11; timing based on age range depending on level of completion

# data[].attributes.body
Testing Time 35-50 minutes

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Used to make a diagnoses for language disorder.

Figure out the nature of the disorder, underlying clinical behaviors, and how it affects the student's classroom performance.

# data[].attributes.body
We think the picture completion subtest could have biases. What if a child had never interacted with the object before? How would they know what was missing?

Takes into consideration of administration conditions. i.e. temperature, noise level, rapport with examiner

# data[].attributes.body
*Has verbal/nonverbal subtests
* Flexibility through language subtests
*allows for the examiner to teach a concept if the student doesn’t recognize the prompts
*Examiners usually determine based on scores if the student needs a multi-subtests intelligent assessment
