However, this assumption is usually only true of typically developing children from homes with certain background; (ii) assessments of the language abilities of children whose predominant language is not English is limited. Tests may be biased against students from minority cultures because they: contain items that represent values and/or knowledge different from those held by these students; don't really test what they purport to test; or are unavailable in any language other than English
