 The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test or the PPVT was first launched in 1959 by two pioneers in the field of special education, Llyod M. Dunn and Leota M. Dunn

 Quickly evaluate receptive vocabulary with a test that requires no reading or writing  Monitor progress using two parallel forms  Directly compare receptive and expressive vocabulary when you also administer the EVT-2  Move immediately into evidence-based interventions using those embedded directly into and linked into the ASSIST software  Meet guidelines for universal screening, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and diagnostic testing in an RTI environment

 The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test is one of the most commonly used assessment tests that measure verbal ability in standard American English vocabulary. It measures the receptive processing of examinees from 2 to over 90 years old

 The administration of PPVT outs certain limits on the test. It cannot be used on people who suffer from blindness and/or deafness. Psychologists may also need to consider other types of verbal ability assessments when measuring the intelligence of adults who have severe to profound mental retardation because a considerable number of the pictures include images of children.
