Kaksikielisten päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten kielellisten taitojen dynaaminen arviointi : pilottitutkimus
Objectives. Assessment of language development and differential diagnosis between typical bilingual language development and developmental language disorders in bilingual children is difficult due to lack of appropriate diagnostic tools and norms. Dynamic assessment has been proposed as a complement...
