Abstract
Authentic assessment procedures have been advocated to evaluate speech and language skills of preschool children from multicultural, low-socioeconomic backgrounds. In this article we discuss our use of minimal core competency methodology as an authentic assessment protocol for preschool screening. D espite the significant investment of time required, this protocol has prove n to be useful and can actually save time in screening compared to quicker, standardized measures that lack sufficient specificity.
