Question 1

What precautions must be taken when assessing a student for speech and communication disorders whose first language is not English?

Accepted Answer

Precautions must be taken so that the assessment is accurate and fair.For example,the test must have been developed for use with the students to whom it is being administered and the directions and other aspects of the test cannot be confusing to individuals who do not speak standard English;this may lead to incorrect responses,not because of language problems but because of the style in which the directions are given. The testing situation itself may be particularly stressful for a student who is not a native English speaker.The expectation for the student to participate in a conversation with the professional administering the assessment may violate some students' cultural norms.
