Validated Language exposure questionnaires for children growing up in a multilingual context

[walesgin]

Just to add one more to the mix.  Here is the questionnaire we've been
using for child participants here in Miami.  We have it in Spanish as well,
if you would like a copy of that.
Please feel free to adapt this to your needs.
All the best,
