LOINC description : The Speech and Language Assessment Scale (SLAS) is a 19-item, parent-report questionnaire
designed to identify children with delayed speech and language skills. The SLAS uses
seven-point Likert-style questions to assess six subscales: assertiveness, responsiveness,
semantics, syntax, articulation, and talkativeness. The protocol includes instructions
to generate composite scale scores. In order for Speech and Language assessments to
be considered valid, the investigator should make sure that the respondent speaks
English well. The respondent should have hearing and cognitive ability adequate for
understanding the items and evaluating the child's speech and language ability. For
genetic studies, children should be assessed for hearing or nonverbal impairment as
related factors that can contribute to low performance. Language impairment can appear
without these factors but if these factors appear, the genetics of the language impairment
may be confounded with the genetics of the related factors.;
