The Rossetti Infant-Toddler Language Scale is a comprehensive and user-friendly tool designed for clinicians to assess the preverbal and verbal aspects of communication and interaction in young children.
This criterion-referenced instrument evaluates key areas such as Interaction-Attachment, Pragmatics, Gesture, Play, Language Comprehension, and Language Expression. The assessment allows for direct elicitation from the child, observation, or input from parents or caregivers, all equally contributing to the scoring. Results are indicative of the child's skill mastery across these areas, measured at three-month intervals throughout developmental domains.
The test items provide guidance for structured observations, aiding in monitoring language developmental progress. Based on observations and descriptions from recognized developmental hierarchies, the items are carefully selected to be representative of age-appropriate skills.
Severity rating guidelines are included to help interpret results and effectively communicate the severity of the child's delay.
The Rossetti Infant-Toddler Language Scale manual also features a reproducible Parent Questionnaire and report questions in English and Spanish.
Subtests:
Interaction Attachment: Evaluates cues and responses reflecting a reciprocal relationship between the caregiver and the child
Pragmatics: Assesses the child's use of language to communicate socially and affect others
Gesture: Evaluates the use of gestures for expression before consistent use of spoken language
Play: Assesses changes in play reflecting the development of representational thought
Language Comprehension: Evaluates the child's understanding of verbal language with or without linguistic cues
Language Expression: Assesses the child's use of preverbal and verbal behaviors for communication
The complete kit includes the Examiner's Manual and 15 Scale Forms.
