Hermans, Daan; Knoors, Harry; Verhoeven, Ludo
Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, v15 n2 p107-119 Spr 2010
In this article, we will describe the development of an assessment instrument for Sign Language of the Netherlands (SLN) for deaf children in bilingual education programs. The assessment instrument consists of nine computerized tests in which the receptive and expressive language skills of deaf children at different linguistic levels (phonology, vocabulary, morphosyntax, and narration) are assessed. We will describe how the instrument was developed and normed, and present some psychometric properties of the instrument.
