Preliminary Data on Revision of a Sentence Repetition Test for Language Screening with Black First Grade Children

Three groups of first grade children were identified with a screening modification of the Carrow Elicited Language Inventory (CELI): children who spoke Standard English, children who spoke black English vernacular, and children with true language pathology. Discussion of the results describes the identification of black children with true pathological language patterns. It is recommended that school speech-language pathologists expand their efforts to reline and develop instruments for use with minority children.
