Speech and Language Assessment of Spanish-English Speaking Children

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework and specific suggestions concerning the assessment of the Spanish-English speaking student. This proposed framework utilizes qualitative and quantitative procedures to assess the limited English proficient student's language status, linguistic-cultural background and socioeconomic status, and communicative abilities. Qualitative and quantitative measures may include observations, interviews, questionnaires, test instruments, and language samples. Suggestions concerning the assessment battery include the use of modified testing procedures, adapted test instruments, and naturally elicited language samples. The accurate diagnosis of speech and language disorders in LEP children is dependent upon the availability of these data.
