The LPT 3 assists in evaluating the ability to attach increasingly more meaning to information received in the pursuit of formulating an expressive response.
• Includes two pretests (Labeling and Stating Functions) and six subtests (Associations, Categorization, Similarities, Differences, Multiple Meanings, and Attributes), with each subsequent subtest building on the skills previously evaluated.
• Items are valid clinical indicators of the ability to attach meaning to language.
• Age equivalents, percentile ranks, and standard scores are provided.
• Manual includes a Discussion of Performance section that describes academic manifestations of poor test performance and includes remediation guidelines for each subtest/skill level.
• Contrast group comparisons show a highly satisfactory ability to differentiate subjects with language disorders from subjects developing language normally.
• Race/socioeconomic group difference analyses show no significant difference when
comparing race and minimal differences when comparing SES.
