Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

When assessing a child who speaks Twi at home, the therapist should:

  • Assess skills in Twi as well as English, using interpreters or family help if needed
  • Assess only in English
  • Refuse to see the child
  • Tell the family to stop speaking Twi
Answer: Assess skills in Twi as well as English, using interpreters or family help if needed

Working: A child must be assessed in the languages they actually use. Weakness in English alone may just reflect limited exposure, not a disorder. Family members and interpreters make assessment fair.
