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.
Features
A 30-item rating scale is used in four testing areas: Words, Concepts and Multiple Meanings, Inferences and Predictions, and Conversational Knowledge and Use. Administer these four tests individually or as a battery to obtain norm-referenced information about an individual's language skills in:
- Making Inferences
- Conversation
- Multiple Meanings
- Figurative Language
