Often primary-aged students are referred to an SLP (speech-language pathologist) for an evaluation based on an initial referral from parents or teachers. Teachers have the advantage of seeing a child perform multiple tasks and on multiple difficulty levels, work individually or in groups, and socialize and communicate with peers during class activities. Checklists that mark some of the characteristics of children with language difficulties can assist teachers in identifying children who are experiencing difficulties and following up with appropriate referrals.
