Wellness is a way of being, living, and feeling through evaluating whole self to improve quality of life.

After a specific checklist is returned to me, I make decisions regarding whether part of my testing will be devoted to assessment of the child’s social pragmatic language skills and if so, what type of testing will be appropriate in such case? If social pragmatic assessment is needed, the latter becomes fairly apparent after I observe the child (e.g., in the classroom, during free period) as well as during the administration of the comprehensive language testing. So what are some useful standardized and non standardized assessments of Social Pragmatic Language? There are quite a few, but for the purposes of this post, I’ll just mention some of the ones that I use on daily basis for children whose ages range from preschool through adolescence. For preschoolers ages 4 and up, the Children’s Communication Checklist-2 U.S. Edition (CCC-2) is quite useful.

For school aged children 6-12 years of age, the following standardized instruments tend to be fairly effective in teasing out social pragmatic language deficits:

The Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment Program (FIE) is a series of tasks that directly focus on the development of thinking skills. The implementation of the instruments effectively requires a different teaching style called Mediated Learning Experience (MLE). The intention is to improve students’ social adaptability that ultimately contributes towards real-life problem solving skills (as opposed to just content areas). The paper and pencil instruments are designed to provide student opportunities to develop cognitive strategies and working habits that they can apply to problem solving situations. The various instruments are designed structurally to increase in complexity and abstraction. Students are encouraged to generalize rules and principles that are transferred to a wide range of contexts. Creating insight or “meta-cognition,” the teacher mediate transfer of the newly acquired strategies to real life.
