RESULTS OF ASSESSMENT MEASURES | administered the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (3" Edition) Form Illa (PPVT Illa) to Will in early October and he scored in the 88" percentile with an age equivalent of around 9 ‘years old. This means that his reception of language is better than 88 percent of other three and a half year olds and can understand the vocabulary of a nine-year-old. These scores were derived from Will’s raw score of 65 correctly answered items out of 96 total items. His basal set is that of 2.5- to 3-year olds and his ceiling set is the one for 10- to 11-year olds. In the next few pages you will see a copy of the first few pages of the scoring sheet for the PPVT Illa, The first page is for general information and recording scores. The second is to explain the assessment, record scores, and begin the test. The third page is a continuation of the assessment. Personal Reflection It must be noted that the results of this assessment may not be entirely reliable because the test-makers themselves say that it will be most accurate when paired with another assessment tool, the Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT). Therefore, the results of this assessment should not, stand alone. If we were to assume the PPVT Illa is accurate, then Will’ test results would be impressive considering his medical history one would think that his receptive language would have been delayed due to chronic ear infections in his first two years of life. I believe Will’s high receptive vocabulary, in spite of slight delay in language acquisition, could be rewarded entirely to his parents. Both of his parents are college-educated, well-read, and talkative adults — his parents often explain the way things in the world work using high-level vocabulary. Knowing his parents, it is not surprising to me that he scored in the High Score-Moderately High Score range. Reference Dunn, L. M. & Dunn, L. M. (1997). Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (3* ed.)
