You take a speech sample of a 4-year-old monolingual child and find the following errors:

F: ə /r, t/k, d/g, b/f, ou/l, d/ð, t/θ
What type of SSD disorder are you suspecting?
Articulation: /k, g, f/
A bilinigual child (Spanish + English) was assessed in English and Spanish using the CELF: 4 Spanish and the CELF:5 (English). Conversation samples collected in both languages reflected the CELF outcomes.

ELI: SS=70, PR=2
CELF: 5 English
RLI: SS=85, PR=16
ELI: SS=70, PR=2
