Bpvs raw score

[Confusedaboutstatements]

Just got a speech therapy report through for DS aged 3 years and 1 month. He was assessed on the British picture vocabulary scale and got a raw score of 26. Does anyone know how to convert this into percentile rank or age equivalent or anything as it doesn't tell me this on the report. Thankyou.

I would just ring the SALT and ask her.

Yes, I'll try again. It's so hard to Catch her.

She's not in till Wednesday, I'll try again then. I wish they would include the percentile score on the report.

.

SALT just rang. DD is on the 9th percentile and there is no age equivalent lower than under 3 years so she can't give me that. Is 9th percentile good or bad, is it a mild delay, thanks.

9th percentile is at the lower end but in my area the NHS will only offer intervention if below the 5th percentile.
9th percentile basically means 91% of your dcs peers (same age) would score higher.
do you have any other percentiles to compare it to? for example my dd scored 0.4th percentile for expressive language but 50th percentile for receptive language. If there is a large difference between percentiles for different things, the lower percentile could indicate a difficulty that requires therapy intervention.

His expressive is in line with his receptive understanding it says on the report. Then it says his use of jargon, gliding, palatal fronting and clusters impact his ability to communicate and to be understood. And that his speech is very repetitive and that he follows his own agenda.

So 9th percentile isn't terrible then is it? Would it be a mild delay would you think or moderate?

Lots of jargon there for me! :)

He is having therapy in nursery and is doing well. He has a diagnosis of moderate developmental delay at present.

Thank you for your reply.

*cluster reduction.

It basically means she is in the bottom 9%. It is low but not that low iyswim

my Dd is around the 0.4th percentile and I would be overjoyed if we ever reached the 9th percentile...

if both expressive and receptive language are consistent at the 9th percentile then this would be inline with a dx of global developmental delay.
does the salt report include any standardised assessment of receptive language? or has the SLT just based this on observation?
I would say that 9th percentile would be moderate tbh. under 5th is descibed as 'having a significant difficulty'.

reduction of clusters relates to your dcs use of speech sound, my dd also does this and it effects her clarity.

She assessed him with the British picture vocabulary scale and he got a raw score of 26. She did another test which showed he uses 2 word length utterances and 3 word level utterances were beginning to emerge.

His understanding is at a 2 word level it says.

His older brother has high functioning autism and didn't present typically, his language skills were better at the same age. But his clarity of speech were worse. So I'm always looking for signs I guess. Older DS's general development was much better at age 3. Also older DS was much more expressive and cheerful. He wasn't diagnosed till age seven as he was so sociable and I worry that this could be history repeating itself.

It's hard not to compare them.
