Our goal is to transition students to their local schools as soon as possible. The vocabulary, language, speech and academic tests we use are standardized on children with typical hearing, so results for our students who are deaf or hard of hearing can be compared to results achieved by children with typical hearing the same age. This comparison gives us a clear picture of each student’s individual levels of proficiency.
Standardized tests we administer in the CID primary school include:
- Receptive Vocabulary Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-5)
- Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT-3)
- Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF-5)
- Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation (GFTA-3)
- Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT) — for transcription of language samples
- Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests (WRMT-III)
- Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS)
- KeyMath-3 Diagnostic Assessment
- Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V)
