Abstract
This article discusses the assessment of communication skills in children f
rom birth to 5 years of age. The different methods appropriate for differen
t developmental levels and the relationship of collateral areas, such as he
aring, cognition, and speech motor control to the communication process, ar
e addressed. The need for standardized and informal measures is emphasized.
Case studies are presented to illustrate the principles outlined.
