What are the guidelines for a language disorder?
The guidelines for a language disorder are that a student exhibit a disability in form (i.e. grammar), function (i.e. vocabulary) and/or use (i.e. social skills) of language across settings as identified by the combination of scores on a standardized test, informal observations within an academic setting, teacher information, parent information, and a language sample. The results of these measures are then considered in the decision that a student has a language disorder.
