, I'm not sure where you live but I would recommend e School for

the Deaf, Northampton, MA they do what's called CEE (Comprehensive

Educational Evaluation....) give them a call at 1- or

1- and tell them you are interested in a CEE - that's if you

are in the area. I'm sure someone out there has had e do a CEE for

their child and can tell you about their experience. Martha

Hi, I can tell you some of the tests that both of my girls have had and

have proved to be fair and informative.

Holly was 6 at the time of these tests and where given.

These tests where administered at St. ph's school for the deaf,

although I do know the school district can also provide this testing. I

would though caution you to make sure who ever they chose to administer these

are appropriatly trained.

Leiter International Performance Scale-Revised (Leiter-R)

This test evaluates, visualization and reasoning battery

Beery Buktenica Test of Visual Motor Intergration

Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals- Preschool (CELF-P)

This tests covers, Lindguistic Concepts, Basic Concepts, Sentence Structure,

Recalling Sentences, Formulating Labels, Word Structure

Peabody Picture Vacabulary Test- Third Edition (PPVT-111)

Peabody individual Achievement Test -Revised ( PIAT-R)

was also evaluated at the age of 7 with the following:

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children -lll (WISC-lll )

Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals- Third Edition ( CELF-3)

Also both Peabody tests.

I hope this offers some evaluations to look at

Martha, Thank you for your response. is fairly close. They have

almost 9 month to a year wait for the test.(I called them a while ago)

So I was wondering if there was a secific test I could ask for that

would do a good, all around test for speech and language. Also the

test costs well over a thousand dollars. I will call them if the

eval shows everything is age apropriate. (I will know the school picked

the tests that show her strengths and not where she needed the work) I

was wondering if there was a test I could request at her 3 year eval

that is reccomended for severe hearing impaired children. Again, thank

you
