Abstract
The development of a German-language parent report for assessing early language abilities is presented. The following questions were empiric ally examined in three pilot studies: How homogenic or heterogenic are the abilities investigated? How valid is the information given by the mothers with regard to their children's level of development in vocab ulary, syntax and morphology? Is the parent questionnaire a suitable i nstrument for identification of children at risk for developmental dis orders?
