There<strong>for</strong>e, together with language & speech pathologists of the Clinical Research Unit a<br />
descriptive score was given <strong>for</strong> each child on each test (‘poor’ – ‘moderate’ – ‘good’)<br />
depending on how different the test results were in relation to the results achieved by<br />
their peers. The second reason <strong>for</strong> this sort of scoring arises from both how scoring of<br />
particular tests was designed and what kind of errors SLI children typically commit.<br />
Since these errors are typically different from errors of their TLD peers, child’s actual<br />
answer was recorded. There<strong>for</strong>e, the overall achievement on a test could not be stated<br />
easily.<br />
