BPVS??? (speech & language)

[kissingfrogs]

What does BPVS stand for?
Given a note today for dd2 via new speech & language teacher:
BPVS - age equivalent 4.3yrs
Auditory comprehension - 3.10months

She's 4.7yrs.
Have hospital visit tomorrow so need to add this to her reports for assessment by Dr.
Surely this indicates that only a small problem, which is different from the ed psych report eg receptive language < 2.6yrs.
Or is this assessing a different thing altogether?
Don't want to look completely vacant infront of the dr!!!

see this:-

British Picture Vocabulary Score. I think it is just part of a wider picture of her language development. It depends what tests the Ed Psych used as different tests give different scores.
Hope someone else has more knowledge and can help.

BPVS tests receptive vocabulary.

Thanks for that all of you.

It doesn't tie in with previous assessments and that could be really relevant to what dd2 is maybe going to be tested for (auditory neuropathy).
Or: the Headmaster who took the message & wrote the note could have written it down wrong 4.3/3.4. I think this because the language teacher definitely told class teacher that dd2 had scored low in language. 4.3yrs doesn't seem low for a 4.7yr old.
More !

Oh bum. I'll have to ring the department myself tomorrow morning just to verify. Not that I'll have time before hospital. Doublebum.

My daughter has auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (AN for short), the tests for this are both standard hearing tests, firstly an OAE (essentially an echo test with a probe into the ear) then ABR (a brain response test) which is tested through monitoring brain waves in response to sound. The absence of ABRs is the classic sign of AN if the OAEs are or have been in tact. The other tests will merely give an indication of how well she is or isn't coping with the hearing impairment.
