The Rossetti Infant-Toddler Language Scale

The Rossetti Infant-Toddler Language Scale, by Louis Rossetti, is a world-renowned scale that identifies preverbal and verbal language development problems in infants to three-year-olds and provides essential information to early intervention team members. Designed to provide the clinician with a comprehensive, easy-to-administer, and relevant tool. A criterion-referenced instrument that assesses Interaction-Attachment, Pragmatics, Gesture, Play, Language Comprehension, and Language Expression. Behaviors can be directly elicited from the child, directly observed, or reported by parent or caregiver to credit the child’s performance. Results reflect the child’s mastery of skills in each of the areas assessed at three-month intervals across developmental domains tested. The test items guide in directing and structuring observations in order to monitor the child’s progress in language developmental areas. Severity rating guidelines help interpret the results and communicate the severity of the child’s delay. Reproducible Parent Questionnaire and report questions in English and Spanish. The Discussion of Performance section found in the Examiner’s Manual helps to make appropriate and educationally relevant recommendations for remediation.

Includes examiner’s manual and 15 test forms.
