Native American Children's Performance on the Preschool Language Scale-3.

Long, Edgarita E.

Journal of Children's Communication Development, v19 n2 p43-47 Spr 1998

This study evaluated the validity of language-assessment instruments with Native American children, ages 3 to 5. Results indicated that the Preschool Language Scale-3 provides a valid assessment of the receptive and expressive language skills of 3- and 4-year-old Native-American children. However, use of this scale with 5-year-old Native Americans is questionable. (Author/DB)
