Description

Assists clinicians in distinguishing normal developmental language changes and patterns of variation from true markers of language disorder or delay. Useful in reducing over-inclusion of minority children in special education due to linguistic and cultural differences rather than actual speech and language disorders. Appropriate for children who are Mainstream American English (MAE) speakers and those who are speaking a variation from MAE, such as those who speak African American English (AAE). Yields two scores, one score for Part I Language Variation Status and one for Part II Diagnostic Risk Status.
