More and more clinicians face the problem of appropriately evaluating English Language Learners (ELL) who may have language-learning difficulties. This video provides vital information about:

  • Normal second language acquisition processes
  • Bilingualism as a foundation for distinguishing between language differences and disabilities in ELL students
  • Assessment considerations, including adaptations of standardized tests and implementation of informal, nonstandardized materials
  • Techniques used to differentiate between language difference and disability in ELL students
  • How to best utilize the services of interpreters in the assessment processĀ 

The video also presents numerous examples of how the techniques can be applied.
