TILLS is a comprehensive, norm-referenced test that has been standardized for three purposes: To identify language/literacy disorders To document patterns of relative strengths and weaknesses To track changes in language and literacy skills over time To achieve these purposes, TILLS is constructed to allow you to derive scores for identifying, tracking, and profiling a student's strengths and weaknesses and interpreting the results to support decisions about what to do next. 15 Extensively Researched Subtests The TILLS assessment is all professionals need to capture the complete picture of students' oral and written language skills. TILLS is composed of 15 subtests that allow examiners to assess and compare students' language-literacy skills at both the sound/word level and the sentence/discourse level across the four oral and written modalities-listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Curriculum Relevant TILLS measures integrated language-literacy abilities that reflect the complex language and literacy demands of the general education curriculum. Backed By Unparalleled Data Each TILLS subtest has been fine-tuned to meet strong psychometric standards using scientific evidence gathered in numerous pilot studies and field trials, a national beta trial, and a standardization study with more than 1200 children and adolescents across the United States. Strong Specificity and Sensitivity TILLS tested both sensitivity and specificity across the full age range covered by the test. In the manual, diagnostic accuracy data are broken down into nine different aEUROoeage bandsaEURO meaningful to the development of language and literacy skills. Sensitivity ranges from 81% to 97%, and specificity ranges from 81% to 100%. Streamlined Assessment Professionals can administer the entire test, single subtests, or combinations of subtests in one or more sessions. Comprehensive assessment can typically be administered in 90 minutes or less. Useful for a Wide Range of Students TILLS is ideal for evaluating students: suspected of having a primary language impairment, also called specific language impairment suspected of having a learning disability, reading disability, or dyslexia known to have an existing condition associated with difficulties in spoken and written language (such as deaf or hard of hearing, autism spectrum disorder, or intellectual disability) struggling with language and literacy comprehension and social communication skills (such as social communication disorder)

An ideal companion to the groundbreaking TILLS test! Screen with SLS, and then follow up and diagnose with TILLS. For use on its own or with the Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills™ (TILLS™), the Student Language Scale (SLS) reliably screens students ages 6—18 years for language/literacy disorders, including dyslexia. Filled out by parents, teachers, and students, the screener is a quick, cost-effective way to see how students are performing on academic tasks as compared to their same-age peers. Use the SLS to: Screen for language/literacy disorders, including dyslexia, by gathering teachers' and parents' ratings of students Gather input about a struggling student's strengths and needs from multiple sources Enhance home—school communication by gaining new insight into the student's performance and the teacher's and the parents' and student's perspectives on it, whether or not everyone agrees and whether or not there are concerns Whether used with an entire classroom or with individual students, the SLS is the tool you need to quickly gather valuable information about strengths and needs—and plan next steps for students at risk for disorders. Why use the SLS? Expert developed: The SLS developers are highly respected for their test-building skills and evidence-based work in the field of language and literacy assessment and school social work. Fast and easy: The three-part SLS can be completed in just 3 minutes or less. Administration and scoring is simple—a pencil and paper are all you need. Strong sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity of the SLS to risk of language/literacy disorder is .90 for teachers and .85 for parents, and specificity (correct identification of typical learners) is .90 for teachers and .83 for parents. Cost effective. The SLS helps you screen effectively at a lower cost than comparable tools on the market. Simple scoring: The 12-item rating scale section of the SLS incorporates descriptive statements that are rated on a scale of 1 to 7 from not good to very good. The first eight items on the scale ask about core language and literacy abilities that represent the 2 language levels x 4 language modalities assessed with TILLS. When teachers or parents rate more than two areas on items 1-8 as less than 5, SLS screening results indicate the student is at risk and needs further assessment. Perfect for use with TILLS!: The SLS is an ideal companion to the groundbreaking TILLS test, which assesses oral and written language skills in students ages 6—18 years. Gather teacher and parent ratings for whole classes of students with the SLS, and if results indicate that a student is at risk, follow up with TILLS assessment and other forms of language/literacy assessment. What's in this kit?: One SLS User's Manual One gummed tablet of 50 TILLS™ Student Language Scale forms One SLS Quick Start Guide with basic instructions on administering and scoring
