Langdon, Henriette W.
Exceptional Children, v56 n2 p160-67 Oct 1989
Seventeen bilingual speech and language pathologists submitted assessment reports on 51 limited-English-proficiency students and 44 Anglo students with suspected language disorders. Analysis indicated that a heavy diagnostic emphasis continues to be placed on results of discrete-point tests. A protocol to assess limited-English-speaking students suspected of a language or learning disability is offered. (Author/MSE)
