The Sign Language Proficiency
Interview (SLPI) is an evaluation tool that assesses Language skills. The SLPI
was developed by Dr. Frank Caccamise and Dr. William Newell, professors at the
National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID). Skills and areas assessed
include sign language vocabulary, production and clarity of signs, fluency,
grammar, and comprehension.
The SLPI is a videotaped
one-on-one interview/conversation between a trained SLPI interviewer and the
person taking the SLPI. Each videotaped SLPI is rated independently by raters
using the SLPI rating scale. Persons taking the SLPI receive their results
which states the rating level of his/her sign language Language skills.
