Abstract
Results from a study on current practices of Spanish-speaking speech and language specialists are reported. Analyses of the data indicate that a heavy diagnostic emphasis continues to be placed on the results of discrete-point tests. A protocol to assess limited-English-speaking students suspected of a language or learning disability is offered.Keywords
