Language Assessments for DHH Infants and Toddlers

Choosing the right assessment starts with a clear picture of what is out there. Use this reference list, compiled for the Clerc Center, to match language assessments to the child in front of you. It groups tools by what they measure, ASL, spoken English, or both, and gives each one's acronym, age range, the language areas it covers, and its publisher. A guiding note reminds you to evaluate each language separately with a tool built for it, since mixing ASL and spoken language on one measure can skew results. Use it to ground assessment choices in the right tool for each child.
