When It Is Used
Use PRS-SA when a trained rater needs to code pragmatic-language behaviors from a school-age conversational video, especially in autism or neurodevelopmental assessment contexts.
Pragmatic Rating Scale-School Age (PRS-SA)
Pragmatic Rating Scale-School Age (PRS-SA) is a trained observer behavioral rating system for speech-language pathology, psychology, autism, and neurodevelopmental assessment practitioners. It helps trained raters code school-age pragmatic-language behaviors from semi-naturalistic conversational videos and review item ratings, domain scores, and a total pragmatic-violation score.
Open the sample coding record and review how ratings become a domain score profile.

What It Shows
The review summarizes observable behavior as item ratings, domain scores, and a total pragmatic-violation score when the supported rating structure is complete.
Important Limits
The tool organizes ratings and score profiles. It does not generate diagnostic conclusions, treatment recommendations, new PRS-SA items, or unsupported clinical interpretations.
Is PRS-SA a questionnaire for families or children?
No. PRS-SA is a trained observer rating workflow applied to recorded conversational behavior; no separate child or family questionnaire is defined for this product.
Can the demo calculate a final total from partial ratings?
No. Partial coding shows completed domains and missing ratings; unsupported final summaries are suppressed when required ratings are missing.
What is saved if I add the tool to my account?
The PRS-SA tool and supported practitioner configuration are saved. Fictional demo ratings, video references, notes, and sample scores are not saved as real client data.
Does the tool diagnose autism or pragmatic language disorder?
No. The result is a pragmatic-language rating profile from a recorded sample, not an automated diagnosis or severity category.
