LD Listening Comprehension

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Have any of you LD teachers ever placed a child LD Listening Comp?

If so, I’d be interested to know what tests were used. I think this is a neglected category of LD.

I think my child should qualify in this area, but we only have one subtest that specifically tests this area and I need one more. And I have been told that the WJ-III scores pretty high, so I’d prefer not to use that one.

Thanks,
Janis

Hi Janis-
The CELF has a good section on Listening Comprehension. I haven’t found the WJIII cluster to be too far off- it is especially nice if you can have both sets of scores-CELF and WJIII though because the tasks are quite different. If you do the WJIII make sure they do Story Comprehension, Following Directions and the delayedrecall clusters for both.

Thanks, Robin. I did not know about the delayed recall portion of the WJ-III listening subtests. It is very helpful to know to ask for that.
