CELF-5 Metalinguistics goes beyond assessment of syntax and semantics to assess language strategies and language flexibility.

Benefits

  • Measure a student's ability to think about and use language to make inferences, manipulate conversational speech given a context, use words in multiple ways, and use language in a non-literal manner.
  • Assess ability to interpret contextual and situational demands of conversation and understand what is not explicitly stated in communication interactions.
  • Evaluate delays in semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic competence.
  • Ideal for students with subtle language disorders or those on the autism spectrum.
