<DIV>Hi -</DIV>
<DIV>I'm preparing to do research on African American children who speak AAVE
and assessment practices/dialectal differences awareness in speech/language
pathologists. I'm hoping someone can direct me to good sources on best
practices in language (disorders) assessment for African American children,
especially those who speak AAVE. Also, any sources on linguistic bias in
language assessment and/or incidence of language disorders in African American
children.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks much,</DIV>
