[Teresa Ukrainetz]

The latest issue of Language, Speech, & Hearing in the schools has an
article (Gray, Plante, Vance, & Henrichsen, 1999) dealing with vocabulary
scores and their lack of relationship to SLI vs normal status.  In a
recent project, I also found little relationship between PPVT-III scores
and teacher ratings of concern.
