We are excited to announce our newest creation and in this essay we are going to dive headfirst into the intriguing world of chronological age calculators. I know, I know, just the words “chronological age calculator” sound about as exciting as watching paint dry, but stick with me – I promise we’ll have a laugh or two along the way!

So picture this: you’re knee-deep in evaluations, trying to decipher the mysteries of a child’s speech and language development, when suddenly, you need to calculate their chronological age so you know what developmental norms to use. Cue the dramatic music! It’s like trying to crack the Da Vinci Code, but with numbers instead of cryptic symbols.

But then, (cue more dramatic music) you can’t easily find one online that works!

Fear not, we now have a secret weapon in our arsenal: a free chronological age calculator! Yes, you heard that right – free, like a sample at Costco, but way more useful. Say goodbye to the days of frantically searching for a reliable calculator, only to end up lost in a maze of broken links on test developer websites or bizarre world clocks and tools that don’t quite fit the bill. Plus those sites are packed with too much stuff when all we need is 2 numbers with a semi-colon in the middle.

We asked our dear and intelligent friends at Evalubox to build us one and they came through so bookmark this page: Chronological Age Calculator

Let’s get down to business. What exactly does a chronological age calculator do? Well, it’s like a virtual time machine, taking us back to the day a child was born and comparing it to the present moment to reveal their age in years and months. It’s like magic, but with less wand-waving and more number-crunching!

Now, for the moment you’ve all been waiting for – how do you use this one? Just plug in the testing date and the child’s birthday, and voila – you’ve got your chronological age faster than you can say velopharyngeal insufficiency.

But what if you’re feeling adventurous and want to calculate it yourself? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Click through to the calculator and follow our step-by-step guide to see how to calculate chronological age, complete with quirky math tricks that will make you feel like a mathlete in no time!

And why is calculating chronological age so darn important anyway? Well, it’s like the cornerstone of speech therapy evaluations – without it, we’d be lost in a sea of uncertainty, like a ship without a compass. Without this number we don’t know what developmental norms to use, which makes it really difficult to say whether a child qualifies or is within normal limits.

What Happened to All of the Other Chronological Age Calculators?

We truly wish we didn’t have to spend our time and resources creating this. But the truth is that we are looking for these every week and sometimes the links still work and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes it’s because a test developer redid their website and moved it, and sometimes they are not updated.

And let’s not forget the infamous Pearson chronological age calculator – the OG of age calculators. Sure, it was a classic, like an old pair of jeans, but they removed it from their website and point to a world clock with instructions for how to alter your entries so that it works for you (sort of).

So this is our promise to you: As long as we continue testing children, this chronological age calculator will remain free and updated. Because we need it every week just like you do. Bookmark it along with all of our other free evaluation resources!
