Distinguishing Language Delays From Chronic Language Disorders (WEB19010)
It is difficult to know in young children whether language delays are transient or will lead to chronic delays and cascading difficulties in academic language, reading, and writing. This session explores assessment methods that make use of evidence regarding the difference between delay and disorder to allow clinicians to make this distinction in daily practice.
This course is a recorded session from the 2019/2020 online conference “Innovative Methods for Preschool Assessment, Collaboration, and Treatment.”
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:
- list the characteristics of language disorders in preschool children that contribute to long-term risk
- choose assessment instruments, both standardized and observational, that will be useful in distinguishing between delays and disorders
- explain to parents and teachers how we distinguish between language delay and disorder
