Sharynne McLeod, Sarah Verdon
PMID 28525581WHAT IT FOUND
This is an expert tutorial, not a study.
It gives guidance on assessing multilingual children's speech, but it reports no tested outcomes.
What this paper is
This is a tutorial and review of expert recommendations for assessing multilingual children's speech. It describes how speech-language pathologists should approach assessment, including case history, speech sampling, tools, interpreters, and a hypothetical case study, but it does not present methods, participants, outcomes, or tested effects. There is no finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the tutorial's recommendations or hypothetical case as evidence that a particular assessment method works. It provides expert guidance, not tested outcomes.
