About#
The Preschool Language Scales, 5th Edition (PLS-5) is standardized, examiner-administered assessment of receptive and expressive language skills for children from birth to 7 years and 11 months. It includes interactive tasks and caregiver feedback to evaluate auditory comprehension (receptive communication) and expressive communication. It provides standardized scores in each domain as well as a total language composite score. The PLS-5 will be used to assess participants up to age 7 years, 11 months, as well as those participants unable to obtain a valid score on the CELF-5.
