• W281508013 abstract "The Kidtalk Interactive Diagnostic Test of Aptitude for Language Knowledge (KIDTALK) is an assessment instrument designed for identifying children with specific language impairments not associated with limited English proficiency. It is based on three principles: (1) a language disorder can be identified by testing an individual's potential for acquiring linguistic features of a novel language; (2) language disorders can be distinguished from language differences by developing test items that meet two criteria (especially difficult for the language impaired while relatively easy for non-language impaired and equally challenging for groups of children with different cultural/linguistic backgrounds); and (3) language disorders can be identified efficiently and easily using computer technology. Development of the test in non-computerized form, then programming and piloting of the software with several age groups are described, revisions are chronicled, and validity results are reported. Plans for modifications are also noted.

Jacobs Paper Presented at AAAL Conference, Seattle, WA March, 1998 THE CREATION AND VALIDATION OF KIDTALK KIDTALK is a different approach to identifying specific language impairments in multicultural populations of children. Children with specific language impairments have extreme difficulty acquiring language even though they have perfectly normal abilities in the nonlinguistic areas of development. It is important to find a new method of identifying these children because currently used methods tend to be culturally and linguistically biased. The result has been the overrepresentation of minority students in special education, especially in the categories of Learning Disabled and Speech and Language Impaired. In other words, children with minority linguistic and cultural backgrounds are identified as language impaired when in fact they are not. They are just culturally and linguistically different. KIDTALK stands for Kidtalk Interactive Diagnostic Test of Aptitude for Language Knowledge. I created it from a framework of three principles which might be effectively applied to all age/cultural/linguistic groups. The principles were derived from an extensive literature review. Principle 1 is that a language disorder can be identified by testing an individual's potential for acquiring linguistic features of a novel language. Test norms that employ this principle would be based on children's language learning aptitude rather than on their level of development in their native language or the language of the dominant culture. This means that the child's language development would not be compared unfairly with that of the mainstream population. Principle 2 is that language disorders can be distinguished from language differences by developing test items that meet two criteria: (a) especially difficult for the language impaired while relatively easy for the non-language impaired, and (b) equally challenging for groups of children having different cultural/linguistic backgrounds. A literature review indicated that the first criterion might be met by exposing the child to a novel language through a story, in which words are auditorily embedded in an ongoing context. Thus, the test begins by having the child watch and listen to a story that is acted" @default.
