Receptive, Expressive and Social Communication Assessment - Elementary (RESCA-E) <show description>

Based on current research and designed for today’s child, the Receptive, Expressive and Social Communication Assessment - Elementary (RESCA–E) was developed to provide essential information to professionals and parents about a child’s receptive, expressive, and social communication language skills. It targets critical areas of language development which are often included in IEPs and treatment plans but are difficult or impossible to objectively measure with existing tests for the elementary-age population.

The RESCA–E combines standardized tests with informal observation across different settings to give a more complete picture of a child’s communication skills.

Receptive Core
Expressive Core
Social Communication Core
Social Communication Inventory

The RESCA–E has 14 components, organized into three cores. Subtests can be selectively utilized to target specific skill areas. The three cores, their component subtests, and associated supplemental subtests are:

RECEPTIVE Core

Three subtests target receptive language at the word, sentence, and narrative levels:

Comprehension of Vocabulary and Concepts
Comprehension of Oral Direction Concepts
Comprehension of Stories and Questions

Receptive Supplemental Subtests

Two supplemental subtests provide more detailed information:

Comprehension of Basic Morphology and Syntax Concepts
Executing Oral Directions

EXPRESSIVE Core

Three subtests target expressive language at the word, sentence, and narrative levels:

Expressive Labeling of Vocabulary and Concepts
Expressive Skills for Describing and Explaining
Narrative Skills

Expressive Supplemental Subtest

Expressive Use of Basic Morphology and Syntax Concepts

SOCIAL COMMUNICATION Core

Three subtests make up the Social Communication Core. These are supplemented by one optional subtest (Elicited Body Language) and an observational scale to provide information about both a child’s “testable” social-language knowledge and also his or her observed social behavior in the real world:

Comprehension of Body Language and Vocal Emotion
Social and Language Inference
Situational Language Use

Social Communication Supplemental Subtest

Elicited Body Language

Social Communication Observational Scale

Social Communication Inventory (SCI)

The SCI is a 28-item behavior rating scale that gathers information on how a child interacts with others across settings. It provides a more holistic picture of a child’s social communication skills and can be completed by either parents or professionals.

Data collection was based on a nationally representative sample of 825 children ages 5-0 through 12-11 years. Results of reliability and validity studies are provided in the technical manual.
