Q

How do we determine impairment

A

TWO CRITERIA MUST BE MET

  1. the child must have a problem that affects functioning , there must be an adaptive dysfunction
  2. the child must have a problem relative to a comparison group, must score lower on a standardized norm -referenced test
    - a child must have a disorder by both criteria in order to be considered to have a language disorder or impairment
