Abstract
The elementary and advanced screening tests of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Functions (CELF) were administered to children recommended for special education classes in the New York City school system. The children were also evaluated by speech/language specialists and were rated by them on the extent of their language deficit. The CELF scores were then compared to the ratings of the language specialists. The findings indicate that the CELF tests did not consistently identify children requiring therapeutic help nor those with language deficits. When similarities between CELF and specialists' ratings were found, their strength was generally weak. The CELF scores also exhibited considerable variability.Keywords
