Accepted Tests for Speech-Language Therapy
Tests used must be norm-referenced, standardized, age
				appropriate and specific to the disorder being assessed. The following list of
				tests is not all-inclusive. When using a test that is not listed below, the
				provider must include an explanation and justification in the evaluation report
				to support the use of the chosen test. The
Mental Measurement Yearbook
				(MMY)
is the standard reference to determine the reliability and
				validity of the test(s) administered in the evaluation. Providers should refer
				to the MMY for additional information regarding specific tests. These
				definitions are applied to the following lists of accepted tests:
* STANDARDIZED: Tests that are used to determine the presence
				or absence of deficits; any diagnostic tool or procedure that has a
				standardized administration and scoring process and compares results to an
				appropriate normative sample.
* SUPPLEMENTAL: Tests and tools that are used to further
				document deficits and support standardized results; any non-diagnostic tool
				that is a screening, a criterion-referenced measure, descriptive in design, a
				structured probe or an accepted clinical analysis procedure (see next
				paragraph). Supplemental tests may not replace standardized tests. Exception: A
				tool(s) from a supplemental list may be used to guide data collection for the
				purpose of generating an in-depth, functional profile. See Section
				214.400, part D, paragraph
				8.
* CLINICAL ANALYSIS PROCEDURES: Specific analysis methods used
				for in-depth examination of clinical data obtained during assessment and used
				to further document deficits and support standardized results. Clinical
				analysis procedures may not replace standardized tests. Exception: Procedures
				from this list may be used to analyze data collected and assist in generating
				an in-depth, functional profile. (See Section
				214.400, part D, paragraph
				8.)
* CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Clinical observations have a
				supplemental role in the evaluation process and should always be included. They
				are especially important when standard scores do not accurately reflect a
				child's deficits in order to qualify the child for therapy. A detailed
				narrative or description of the child's communication behaviors (in-depth,
				functional profile) may constitute the primary justification of medical
				necessity.
* STANDARDIZED SCORING KEY:
Mild: Scores between 84-78; -1.0 standard deviation
Moderate: Scores between 77-71; -1.5 standard deviations
Severe: Scores between 70-64; -2.0 standard deviations
Profound: Scores of 63 or lower; -2.0+ standard
				deviations
