Am I choosing the right language screening tool?
How do I know when a child should be screened and evaluated?
I get these questions a lot. That’s why in this episode, I wanted to bust some common myths about language screenings and evaluations.
I’m going to share:
✅The difference between a screening and evaluation (plus common mistakes people make).
✅Why thinking of a screening as a “test” is problematic.
✅When you might not have to use a formal language screener (and what you can do instead).
✅A simple tool I use to simplify the screening process, so I make sure I’m evaluating the right students.

In this episode, I mentioned the Academic Language Skills Rating Scale, a tool I use to streamline language screenings, so students don’t fall through the cracks. You can download your copy of this tool at: drkarenspeech.com/languagescreening.
