Performance of Working Class African-American Children on Three Tests of Articulation.
Cole, Patricia A.; Taylor, Orlando L.
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v21 n3 p171-76 Jul 1990
Ten African-American children, aged five to six, who speak Black English Vernacular were administered three standard English articulation tests. Results showed that a failure to take the issue of dialect variation into account substantially increased the likelihood of misdiagnosing normally speaking African-American children as having articulation disorders.
