What assessment tool is commonly used for evaluating pragmatic language skills?

The Test of Pragmatic Language is specifically designed to evaluate pragmatic language skills, which involve the social aspects of communication, such as how language is used in context and its appropriateness in various social situations. This assessment tool measures various components of pragmatic language including understanding non-verbal cues, topic maintenance, and conversational skills, making it particularly relevant for identifying any difficulties a client may have in social language use.

On the other hand, while many of the other options may indirectly touch on aspects of language use, they do not primarily target pragmatic language skills. For instance, the Social Language Development Test also focuses on social communication but may not be as comprehensive in evaluating the wide range of pragmatic skills as the Test of Pragmatic Language. The Stanford-Binet Test is an intelligence test that assesses cognitive abilities rather than specific pragmatic language skills, and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test assesses receptive vocabulary rather than the nuances of social language use.
