LEAD-K in California: Understanding Language Milestones Data
Senate Bill 210 is a LEAD-K legislative bill which was passed in California. Since December 2017, California Department of Education has collected over 1,000 SKI-HI Language Development Scale (LDS) assessments of Deaf infants, toddlers, and preschoolers language milestones. The presenters will share the findings based on the data so we can better understand what we need to do next with the families of Deaf babies in early intervention, and how we can create more early language acquisition opportunities for Deaf children ages 0-5.
- The participants will learn about implementation and progress of language acquisition milestones assessment since Senate Bill 210 was signed into law in 2015.
- The participants will have the opportunity to look at Deaf children's language acquisition milestones data now available in California.
- The participants will understand why language acquisition during ages 0-5 is a critical period.
