"Deborah's new book Bilingual Speech-Language and Educational Evaluations provides a user friendly, common-sense recipe for professionals charged with conducting assessments with ELLs and clarifies the requirements of such an assessment for administrators." ~ B. Muller, CCC/SLP  “The material presented in the book is down-to-earth, practical, easy to understand, and long overdue. What educator has not struggled with labeling issues, particularly in cases where a student is classified in such a way that he or she does not end up getting the help, support, and educational framework that would really help?Particularly with second language learners, we professionals owe it to our students to leave no stone unturned in our search for the underlying causes of second language learning problems.” ~ Rob Siedenburg, former foreign language teacher and publishing specialist Table Of Contents:• Introduction Recommended Reading For:
