The Pragmatic Language Skills Inventory (PLSI) is an easy-to-use, norm-referenced rating scale designed to assess children's pragmatic language abilities. Its 45 items can be administered in only 5-10 minutes. The PLSIhas three subscales::

• Personal Interaction Skills (initiating conversation, asking for help, participating in verbal games, and using appropriate nonverbal gestures)
• Social Interaction Skills (when to talk and when to listen, understanding classroom rules, taking turns in conversations, and predicting consequences)
• Classroom Interaction Skills (using figurative language, maintaining topic, explaining how things work, writing stories, and using slang)

Examiner’s manual provides cut-off scores for determining whether or not a student exhibits a pragmatic language disorder and includes guidelines for interpreting results.
