Alicia is a fourth-grade student with a language impairment that interferes with her academic
performance and social communication. On a standardized test of expressive language ability, she
received an overall score of 97.5, placing her in the 65thsixty fifth percentile. Alicia's test result indicates
that she
A.performed as well as or better than 65% of the individuals on whom the norms were developed
B.responded correctly to 65% of the 150 items included in the expressive-language test
C.performed as well as or better than 65% of the other fourth graders who took the same test
D.responded correctly to 97.5% of the test items, as did 65% of the other children taking the test -
✔✔A.performed as well as or better than 65% of the individuals on whom the norms were developed
Percentile rank is the percentage of the scores within the norm range that are equal to or lower than the
score gained by the student.Which THREE of the following variables are considered risk factors for late language emergence?
A.Male gender
B.Access to print material
C.Low socioeconomic status
D.Moderately low birth weight
E.Exposure to rich and varied vocabulary - ✔✔Options (A), (C), and (D) are correct. Being of male gender
is a risk factor cited by both ASHA and researchers for late-talking toddlers. Having a low SES is
considered a risk factor by ASHA and researchers for late talking. Finally low birth weight is a risk factor
as well.

for day-to-day verbal interactions with others. Requests (mands) are usually the first type of
communication acquired by an infant.
A 75-year-old patient with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease underwent a three-vessel
