Bilingual Communication Assessment Resource (BCAR) Tools for Assessing Speech, Language, and Learning Larry J. Mattes and Cristina Saldaña-Illingworth Ages 3 through Adult Here is a comprehensive collection of tools and resources for assessing the speech and language skills of bilingual children and adults. Reproducible checklists, informal assessment forms, and other resources are included that can be used to assess speakers of any language. A comprehensive collection of resources designed specifically for use in assessing Spanish speakers is also included. In contrast to norm-referenced tests that yield a percentile ranking or age score, the criterion-referenced measures help you to identify specific behaviors that are causing difficulties for the student. You can also examine how the student responds to instruction in the classroom. Specific strategies are described that will help you distinguish differences from disorders. The tasks make it easy to assess listening and speaking skills commonly emphasized in state curriculum standards. You can use the assessment data to develop IEP goals. Tools for Assessing Receptive and Expressive Language This comprehensive volume provides you with tools for assessing basic concepts, language structures, and the pragmatic skills necessary for effective communication. Tools for Phonology and Phonemic Awareness The tasks in this section make it easy to assess phonemic awareness in Spanish. Word and sentence repetition tasks for articulation screening are also included. Tools for Assessing Aphasia and Apraxia Spanish assessment tools are included for assessing apraxia, word retrieval, and language processing. Tools for Assessing Voice and Speech Fluency Informal tasks are included for assessing voice and fluency in Spanish. Tools for Assessing Language Learning Procedures are described for assessing how the student responds to instruction. Response-to-Intervention (RtI) record forms and forms for the qualitative analysis of performance are included. Special Features The Bilingual Communication Assessment Resource is packed with information, guidelines for conducting assessments, and reproducible assessment tools that can be used with children or adults who have developmental language delays, autism, aphasia, impaired hearing, or other disabilities.
