IQ Variability in Children with SLI: Implications for Use of Cognitive Referencing in Determining SLI.

Krassowksi, Elaine; Plante, Elena

Journal of Communication Disorders, v30 n1 p1-9 Jan-Feb 1997

The practice of cognitive referencing to determine the presence of a specific language impairment (SLI) and eligibility for services is questioned by a study which compared the variability of the IQ scores of children with specific language impairment over time. The study found high IQ variability, suggesting that IQs reflect current abilities rather than potential for language learning. (DB)
