Description
This study assessed language skills and co-morbid factors in children with language impairment, evaluated in an urban, ethnically diverse UCEDD center. Bilingual English Spanish children had few differences with monolingual English children, but overall skills were not worse. Children with language impairment with accompanying learning disabilities in reading presented poorer language skills. More research in this area is needed.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 1B: Education: K-12
