Abudarham, S.

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v1 n3 p187-206 1980

Highlights the potential demands for the services of the speech therapist. In a linguistic assessment, the therapist needs to differentiate between first and second language learning problems. An assessment procedure must allow a child to respond in either of his/her two languages and be given credit for such responses. (Author/PJM)
