Preschool Language Scale, Fourth Edition (PLS-4) Measure of Progress

Now, Scores that Track the Language Progress You See in Your Clients

The PLS-4 Measure of Progress allows you to record and track those significant improvements a young child makes in language development that are not identified through standard scores. Using standard scores obtained from two prior PLS-4 administrations, you can report any improvement a child has made from the therapy you provide.

PLS-4 has a long history of being used to track children’s language growth. The new Measure of Progress provides a way to use PLS-4 to track language development. You can use the PLS-4 Measure of Progress to:

• Quantify therapy and intervention results for parents, teachers, and caregivers in a way that is easy for them to understand
• Use the same scale to accurately track language development continuously (at any age from birth to 6:11 years)
• Measure children’s progress toward IEP goals
• Monitor children’s response to intervention
• Confidently report progress for insurance companies and other entities
• Quantify a child’s success when standard scores do not show growth

The User’s Guide is a great reference tool for understanding the results of second and subsequent evaluations. Rely on the User’s Guide to:

• Understand when it is time to re-evaluate
• Address special considerations for re-evaluation administration
• Explain how to plot and interpret score differences between first, second, and subsequent evaluations
• Explain, through case studies, how different scores may illustrate different types of language development
