			<p>The Preschool Language Scales-5 Screening Test for Early Childhood Educators can be used to screen children ages 3 to 6:11 in such areas as language, articulation, connected speech, communication skills, stuttering and voice. The PLS-5 also enables screening of emerging interpersonal, communication, and feeding skills for children birth through 2:11.</p>

			<h3>Benefits</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Conduct infant, preschool, or kindergarten language screenings of emerging developmental communication skills.</li>
				<li>Identify children who need to be referred to an SLP for further speech or language assessment.</li>
				<li>Simplify administration, with stimulus pages, administration and scoring directions, and technical information all in one compact manual.</li>
				<li>Address newly-proposed Head Start performance standards for assessing dual language learners.</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>Features</h3>

			<p>PLS-5 is designed especially for early childhood education, with separate kits for age groups 0&ndash;3 and 3&ndash;6.</p>

			<p>If an SLP uses PLS-5 as the follow-up diagnostic language measure, there&#39;s no need to re-administer the test items from the screening - simply transfer responses from the PLS-5 Screening Tests to the PLS-5 protocol.</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Ideal for programs serving infants, toddlers, and preschoolers whose primary language is English.</li>
				<li>Brief and engaging for children, and easy to administer and score for the examiner.</li>
				<li>No manipulatives needed for children ages 3:0 to 6:11. For infants and toddlers, use toys and objects easily found within the child&#39;s environment (e.g., squeaky toys, rattles, baby bottle, cup).</li>
				<li>Record Forms are available in tear-off pads.</li>
