PPVT-5: Test Name (Abbreviation)

The PPVT-5 is a norm-referenced receptive vocabulary test that measures vocabulary acquisition through pictures. It takes 10-15 minutes to administer and provides age-based standard scores, percentiles, and other derived scores. It has good sensitivity and specificity for detecting language delays and impairments. The PPVT-5 has multiple forms, does not require reading or speaking, and provides a quick estimate of a client's vocabulary knowledge, though it only measures receptive vocabulary.
