t-score range label changes

[Diane Parham]

I am starting a new thread with this, because the existing one was so long that I couldn't follow it clearly. I posted comments to the last thread and can't even find what I wrote.  I was making yet another suggestion that slightly modifies one of John's suggestions -- taking into consideration Diana and Tara's comments:

Typical, Moderate Difficulties, Severe Difficulties [or Severe Problems]

I don't think we need to state "sensory difficulties/problems" because we apply these terms to individual T-score scales, and Social Participation as well as Praxis are not sensory scales.

I like difficulties better than problems - this could work

I'm leaning towards "severe" rather than "significant" at the moment . . .

Hmmm- I have two reactions to that....severe sounds really bad for parents, but significant I also associate with research papers and p values so that seems weird too.

We should stay away from significant — statistical significance has a specific meaning for test scores that we're not using here, and clinical significance is very difficult to specify at the level of a single test. It's more related to clinical judgment and the interpretation of various sources of clinical information taken together. 

Severe is an appropriate choice, I think, given that we are measuring something that is a problem, and that the range we are talking about is two standard deviations out. I know that we want to be sensitive to parents, but we also have to trust that the test user is appropriately trained in test use, interpretation, and feedback to be able to make these kinds of judgments in communication.
