in a row, e.g., seven 2s in a row in the Communication Receptive subdomain?
The basal rule of “seven consecutive items scored 2” means seven numerically consecutive items scored 2. For example, in the Communication Domain items 55 through 61 could comprise a basal, as could items 43 through 49, or any other series of seven consecutive items scored 2. While items 55 through 61 include only one subdomain, items 43 through 49 include three subdomains. No matter which subdomains are or are not included, a basal is achieved when seven numerically consecutive items are scored 2.
