The PLS-5 Spanish Screening Test for Early Childhood Educators can be used to screen children ages 3 to 6:11 in such areas as language, articulation, connected speech, communication skills, stuttering and voice.

Benefits

• Conduct infant, preschool, or kindergarten language screenings of emerging developmental communication skills.
