Parents and screening tests miss children's language problems
Neither a method using parental concern plus professional guidance nor
a structured screening test accurately identifies children with serious
speech and language problems. Both methods also lead to referral of
unaffected children. These were the findings of Laing and colleagues
(p 1152) when they assessed both methods in inner London in 582 children and with the help of 37 health visitors.
