Abtract: This presentation will focus on the process of language sample analysis for purposes of assessment and progress monitoring with bilingual (Spanish-English) children.
Summary: Langauge sample analysis (LSA) is a recognized gold-standard approach to clinical language assessment of monolingual as well as bilingual children. However, there are well-known barriers to using LSA in clinical practice. This presentation will address these barriers, and demonstrate the importance and clinical utility of using LSA with bilingual (Spanish-English) children.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Participants will be able to describe the importance and clinical utility of language sample analysis with bilingual children.
Participants will be able to select specific methods to elicit rich and informative language samples from children.
Participants will be able to use large-scale reference databases to profile the language sample production of specific children on their caseloads.
