Description: This course introduces the FLiP task, a groundbreaking tool designed to capture bilingual children’s real-world communication. Participants explore how traditional assessments fall short, then examine FLiP’s design, features, and findings from 90 children. With a focus on functional and linguistic equivalence, this course highlights how FLiP informs culturally responsive practice and helps reduce misdiagnosis.
Who This Course Is Good For:
- Any ASHA member, CCC holder, or other professional licensed or credentialed to practice speech-language pathology (SLP) or audiology.
- Any SLP assessing bilingual children or working in linguistically diverse schools and communities.
- Any clinician seeking tools that move beyond monolingual norms to better capture real-world bilingual communication.
- Any professional interested in culturally responsive assessment practices that reduce over- and under-identification in special education.
Who This Course Isn’t Good For:
- Any professional who does not work with bilingual or multilingual populations and does not plan to in the near future.
- Any SLP looking solely for intervention strategies or treatment activities (this course focuses on assessment methodology and implications).
