[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 417450, member: 7948"] Assessing language development in young children is complicated. A traditional standardized test needs to be supplemented with authentic, real-world observations that may reveal errors in communication/language/speech that would otherwise not be discovered. Assessing spontaneous speech in the young child is considered an essential element of the assessment process for this reason. The statement that the expressive language score was based on spontaneous speech means that they were doing the assessment the way it was designed to be done. A paucity/reduced amount of variety of spontaneous speech can be suggestive of everything from a hearing loss to autism to the kid is just having a introspective moment. Like all test scores/assessment the results need to be interpreted within the context of the testing. They are a snapshot and can only tell you so much. When they are combined with home and school observation then they become much more powerful tools for understanding a child's present strengths and limitations. They also can serve as a baseline so that you can tell whether an intervention is helping or if the child is losing skills. [/QUOTE]
