Dear Kathleen---

The DELV is being adapted to South African Black English, has been
translated into Afrikaans and is used
with adjustments for other populations.  The core phenomena are universal,
but one does need to look
over the examples and see if they need to be adjusted for language or
culture.
     Barbara Pearson at UMass is the person who manages the materials.
 Others, like Frenette Southwood
and Ondene van Dulm might be available to advise you on how to do this
adaptation.  They are also developing
very useful intervention materials.
     I would be happy to help if I can as well.
