Impact Language Rating Scale
IMPACT Language Rating Scale (ages: 5-21) is an objective measure of language functioning based on informal observations of clinicians, teachers, and parents. This tool aids in the clinical determination of a diagnosis/special education eligibility by examining how language difficulties may affect everyday social interactions and/or academic performance (for educational planning purposes).
The IMPACT Language Rating Scale evaluates the impact of a child’s oral communication and on their social interactions, academic life, and home/after school life. The current rating scale asks parents, teachers, and clinicians to rate the various components of language functioning on a 4-point scale (“never,” “sometimes,” “often,” and “typically”) and yields a percentile and standard score. By utilizing this rating scale, we are able to develop a better understanding of how a student’s communication difficulties/differences may impact language development, as well as academic performance, and peer relationships.
Instructions for the clinicians: Although each rating scale (clinician, parent, teacher) is a stand-alone test, we highly recommend to complete all three tests in order to obtain more comprehensive results. After completion of each rating scale form, the system generates a protocol in pdf format that includes standard scores, percentile ranks, and educational impact analysis.
