“…A composite of parent and teacher reports in both languages was better at detecting DLD than any one report individually, AUC = .80, sensitivity = .90, specificity = .63. This is in line with previous research, espousing the value of multiple reporters (Dubasik & Svetina, 2014) and multiple languages (Marchman & Martínez-Sussmann, 2002). For all reports, sensitivity was higher than specificity, with specificity falling below acceptable levels.…”

“…Parent or Teacher Reports. Teachers can provide additional information, beyond parent report, to increase classification accuracy (Dubasik & Svetina, 2014;Marchman & Martínez-Sussmann, 2002;Pua et al, 2017). Different informants may have varying levels of knowledge of the child's skills in each language.…”

“…In a study of 85 TD 2- and 3-year-olds, 56 of whom were SE bilinguals, Vagh and colleagues (2009) found that a composite of parent and teacher report of English using the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI; Fenson et al, 2007) was significantly related to children’s English language scores. Another study of 3-year-old SE bilingual children explored patterns of similarities and differences among parent and teacher reports of children’s Spanish and English productive vocabulary, using the CDI (Dubasik & Svetina, 2014). They found inconsistent levels of overall agreement between parents and teachers, concluding that parents and teachers provide unique contributions.…”

We explore the classification accuracy of a parent and teacher report measure, the Inventory to Assess Language Knowledge (ITALK), to screen for developmental language disorder (DLD) in bilingual children. Participants included 120 Spanish English bilingual children with typical development (TD) and 19 bilingual children with DLD, ranging in age from 5 to 8 years old. Parents’ and teachers’ reports correlated moderately with each other and significantly predicted children’s performance on language-specific measures of morphosyntax and semantics. Results yielded sensitivity of .90 and specificity of .63 when using a composite of parent and teacher reports in Spanish and English. Examination of structure loadings in follow-up analyses by grade showed that teachers’ report of English and parents’ report of Spanish were the strongest predictors of impairment in kindergarten. In second grade, the strongest predictors were parent and teacher reports in English. Implications for referral and identification are discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the significance and directions of the relationships among oral and manual fine motor skills and language abilities among Spanish–English bilingual children. If such relationships exist, this would support a shared biological influence on motor and language development. Method: Participants included 56 bilingual children, 24 of whom met criteria for developmental language disorder (DLD), recruited based on teacher concern for language and/or reading comprehension abilities. Students participated in a battery of baseline tests to determine motor, language, and cognitive abilities. Correlations among all variables were examined for direction of relationships. Regression models explored the predictive power of motor skills with Spanish and English language ability as the outcome measure. Results: Oral fine motor abilities (diadochokinetic rate productions of /pa/ and /pata/) predicted Spanish (but not English) oral language abilities in the expected direction (i.e., faster rates were associated with better language). Manual fine motor performance on computer tapping tasks was not related to performance in either language. Conclusions: Oral fine motor abilities are related to language abilities in bilingual children, but only for the native language. We did not find reliable differences in oral and manual fine motor skills between groups of bilingual children with and without DLD. These findings support a limited role of shared biological influences on motor and language development.
