Standardized language assessments were not designed for bilingual children, dialect speakers, or kids from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. When we report scores from these tools, we risk misdiagnosis. Even worse, we risk telling families a story about their child that simply isn't accurate.

After years of working with bilingual and multilingual clients, I developed a disclaimer I now include at the beginning of every evaluation report. It explains why standardized scores aren't reported, grounds the decision in research, and keeps the evaluation strengths-based, ethical, and defensible.

Here's what you'll get in this free PDF:

✦ A 3-paragraph, report-ready disclaimer blurb you can adapt immediately

✦ The research behind it (including Barragán et al., 2018 and the converging evidence framework)

✦ A plain-language explanation of why this approach protects both you and your clients
