A Study of Three Mexican American Children Labeled Language-Disordered.

Kayser, Hortencia

NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, v12 n1 p1-22 Fall 1987

Three bilingual Mexican-American children labeled language disordered were observed at home and school. Linguistic, discourse, and social competencies differed between the two children not judged language disordered by their parents and the one child who was, suggesting that only the latter was truly language disordered.
