(POS32) Using Case Studies to Illustrate How To Assess Third Person SIngular -s in Child AAE
Through descriptive case studies, typically-developing 3-6 year old AAE-speaking children’s use of -s in third person singular contexts from three different assessment activities will be presented. Based on the findings of the case studies, nine expectations about children’s language production and six assessment suggestions for speech-language clinicians will be provided.
