    Product Details

    The PLAI–2 assesses children's abilities to meet the demand of classroom discourse. Now including full-color artwork, it measures how effectively a child integrates cognitive, linguistic, and pragmatic abilities for adult-child exchanges. Teachers, speech-language pathologists, and special education professionals appreciate the multi-faceted information this tool provides.

    Measure young children's discourse abilities

    The PLAI-2 offers two types of assessment:

    Norm-referenced (formal) assessment

    Uses items that require matching, analysis, reordering, and reasoning by verbal and nonverbal responses. This assessment includes:
    • Four subtests that assess levels of abstraction
    • Two subtests that assess modes of response
    • Discourse Ability Score – Presents overall estimate of performance

    Non-standard (informal) assessment

    Provides two pragmatic measures:
    • Adequacy of Response–Evaluates the quality of the child's expressive language on a four-category scale
    • Interfering Behaviors–Quantifies two major patterns of behaviour that hamper interaction
