BAS ll assessment by ed psych

[kissingfrogs]

Dd2 4.6yrs has had this assessment.
She scored on 5th percentile (age equivalent < 2.6yrs) on verbal comprehension which assesses receptive language.
Naming vocab better: 21st percentile (3.4yrs) which assesses expressive language.

The upside is non-verbal reasoning/spatial visual visulisation: 97th percentile (5.7yrs)

Her General Conceptual Ability scores as average (low scores pulling down the high).
The outcome is that she has "specific speech & lang difficulties".

Ok, so this is a receptive/expressive language disorder right?
Grandad has definite AS/HFA without a doubt. Am I way off mark thinking dd2 could have SPD?

ds had this test to and came out at below 2% for receptive did not dare ask this in age equvilent

and below 1% for expressive how did you get ittranslated to age at time did not want to know but would like to

but non verbal cognitive etc he came out at 3.9 hes 4.7 so within normal boundries

they are wondering if ds has auditory processing problem alongside his oral/verbal dyspraxia

Hi Pheonix, thanks for replying. All the info I have is from the report - it details all this (age equivalents) which is kinda handy for putting it into perspective, plus an explanation on what percentiles mean. Some of it's a bit ed-psych speak as in comparisons to standard scores and also T scores (whatever those mean).

Interesting you mention auditory processing. My dd2 is hearing impaired, wears hearing aids. However, her language difficulties seem to be considered seperate from her deafness (disordered as opposed to delayed). Dd2 is in the process of being investigated for other auditory processing possibilities like auditory neuropathy. We're lucky to have found a professional in audiovestibular medicine who is interested in this subject and is keen to find out more.

intresting i am hoping to get ds problems looked into more .

yes ds is no longer language delayed he had been classed as langugae disorders unfortunatley he cant be content with just the one disorder

sorry to hear that about your ds phoenix. It's a struggle, a long hard struggle, making head & tail of things like this to be able to understand and have some sort of answer to help our dcs. Means you have to fast track & become your own child's expert trying to learn asap what takes years of study for the profs to learn.
NDCS website can be useful for finding posts under parent-place about auditory processing.

Thanks Flying. I didn't know that indicator.
I have to admit that I suspect dd2 of ticking quite a few ASD boxes. I think she's one of these who has some traits but not enough to be dx'd. The lovely prof who is looking holistically at dd2 asked a lot of questions about sensory issues, and I knew why.
