An online tool for language diagnosticians
2-4 year old children, whose home
language (HL) is not Dutch
Standard test for detecting language
impairment do not take HL into account
Information on how HL influences language
acquisition is valuable for speech language
therapists and clinical linguists
Morphology, Syntax, Pragmatics,...

Methodology: User centric information architecture
Three user studies:
1. Feedback on current website
a. Feedback processed into prototype
2. Feedback on prototype
a. Feedback processed into new website
3. Feedback on new website
“Improve the knowledge structure of an existing database to help speech/language
therapists make in their diagnosis of Specific Language Impairment in bilingual children.”

Onderzoeksvraag
Diagnosticians (speech language therapists and clinical linguists) face the challenge of diagnosing
children as young as possible (2-4 years old), also when their home language (HL) is not Dutch.
Their achievements on standard (Dutch) language tests will not be reliable indicators for a
language impairment (LI). The earlier a LI is recognized, the better, so there is no time to wait until
the children master Dutch well enough to be tested by means of Dutch tests2. Since a language
impairment is a neurological condition and not a language-specific problem, bilingual children with
a language impairment encounter problems in both languages. If diagnosticians had access to
information on the language development in the HL of these children, this would be tremendously
helpful in the diagnostic process.
Our project “ABC-Kb: A Knowledge base supporting the Assessment of language impairment in Bilingual Children” is aimed at supporting language therapists by (re-)structuring information about language development for bilingual children. Speech language therapists and clinical linguists face the challenge of diagnosing children as young as possible, also when their home language is not Dutch. Their achievements on standard (Dutch) language tests will not be reliable indicators for a language impairment. If diagnosticians had access to information on the language development in the Home Language of these children, this would be tremendously helpful in the diagnostic process
