This score tells you how far a child’s performance falls above or below the mean in standard deviation units.
What is a z-score?
A multilingual child demonstrates typical development in L1, but features of L1 influence the child's performance in L2. Is this best characterized as a language delay, disorder, or difference?
What is a language difference?
A bilingual child demonstrates receptive and expressive language deficits in both L1 and L2.
What is a language disorder?
