Speech therapists - over 'ere please - question about CELF 4th edition

[CaptainUnderpants]

DS2 has delayed phonology and was assessed by schools SALT .

the phonological awareness subtest of CELF 4 was carried out , he scored 58 out of 85 , it said that a child his age ( 5.5yrs) is expcted to score at least 7 . He scored 58 , is this a typo ? could you explain it to me .

I only recived the report today and will be speaking to someone on Monday but in the meantime DH and I are a bit confused re scoring .

Thanks

I am no salt but I would say they meant 70?

yeah thats what I thought . I have goggled but it cannot find detailed info about the tests .

I imagine what has happended is a difference between what we call raw and scaled scores. The points on the individual tests and usually high numbers. The test scores are then compared against charts for standard performances which give us scaled scores. A 7 would be a desireable score here. Scales scores are needed because there is a great vdifference between a 5 year old and a twelve year old getting the same raw score (number of points) in a test. So it seems you might have a mix of raw and scaled scores here.
