Not impressed with NHS SALT Report

It is very different to our private report and it doesn't have percentiles and/or age related references . . Here goes:

DD was focused throughout assessment, concentrating well. Assessment indicated that when DD was presented with large chunks of spoken info, she found it challenging to process and retain key items of info.

Chartered Educational Psychologist, in his Dyslexia assessment, found DD to have difficulties with her short-term auditory memory and working memory.

It then goes on the suggest what school can do . . .

Receptive Language - Assessment indicated that DD overall understanding of a range of sentence structures was below the average range. Her ability to respond to a range of instructions varying in length and including differing linguistic concepts was significantly delayed.

Specific difficulties were before and after.

There is also a significant delay in her ability to recognise semantic associations between vocab items.

Expressive Language - DD got a low score as her confident went and she wouldn't respond. This may not truly reflect her ability.

As the CELF 4 relies heavily on auditory memory, DD assessment results will be affected by her memory problems.

After this assessment DD went outside so I could speak with SLT and one of the things she said was "I don't know how DD has gone through school with no support" but she seemed wary of putting the worst situation down and was blaming everything on her memory.

I don't really know what it all means but i'll send it off to the appropriate people.

If you request her file, the test score sheet and centiles will be in there.
