Christy was referred by her parents because of concerns
related to her difficulty learning how to read and write.
Hypothesis testing: follow-up plan: What tests would you follow-up to test your
hypothesis?
Area of suspected weakness
Verbal Comprehension and Language
Skills
Phonological Skills
Working Memory
Language and attention
Follow-up test
CELF-4
CTOPP
WRAML-2
NEPSY-II
Provide a rationale for why you think he/she has the weaknesses you have listed
and why you chose the tests:
Christys language skills appear to be a weakness based on the VCI scores and
her scores on the WJIII. I would like to gain further information related to her
language abilities as well as her memory. I would use the CELF-4 in order to
provide more information in this area. She also seemed to lack language
abiltiies in her answers as she frequently answered I dont know. She is
behind in her reading and writing and her stories lack enriched vocabulary. I
would like more information related to her language strengths and weaknesses.
The CTOPP will provide additional information related to her phonological
awareness difficulties which were evident on the Letter-Word identification
subtest. Spelling is also an area of weakness.
Christys performance on the Working Memory subtests suggests difficulties with
short term auditory and sequential memory as well as with working and rote
memory. The WRAML-2 core battery will provide verbal, visual and
attention/concentration indices that would provide more indepth information
related to both her language and memory skills.
The NEPSY-II will also provide additional information related to her language and
attention would also provide me more information related to these areas and
how they are impacting her learning.
