I'm creating a practice quiz packet for SLP Praxis preppers! Let's see if you can answer one of the following questions:
You are working with a child who speaks a non-mainstream dialect of English. How would you differentiate between dialectal variations and a language disorder? What interventions might be appropriate for the child?
A) Disregard dialectal variations
B) Use only standardized assessments
C) Recognize dialectal variations, conduct a thorough assessment, and tailor interventions to the child's linguistic background
D) Treat all language variations as disorders
What do you think is the answer? Let me know in the comments!
