New Criteria and Terminology for Childhood Language Disorder in Canada
"In 2015, researchers in the United Kingdom began a project called “Criteria and Terminology Applied to Language Impairments: Synthesizing the Evidence” (CATALISE) to address problems with identification criteria and terminology for children with language difficulties. They formed a consortium that included an international panel of 59 experts in childhood language development and disorders from ten disciplines, including speech-language pathology, education, psychology, pediatrics and psychiatry, as well as community stakeholders. Eight panel members were Canadian and 32 were speech-language pathologists (S-LPs). The CATALISE consortium conducted two consensus studies using the Delphi method to develop identification criteria and terminology for childhood language disorder." (SAC resource page)
"SAC recommends members and associates support the promotion and implementation of the CATALISE consortium consensus statements on identification criteria and terminology for childhood language disorder. SAC recognizes that clinicians may have questions or encounter challenges as they move to adopt the recommendations." (SAC resource page)
Please check the following link to learn about the new criteria and terminology:
