Abstract
Recent literature indicates a need for culturally appropriate assessment instruments for Native American children. This study was designed to determine if available language assessment instruments could validly assess Native American children's language skills. Eighty Native American children, ages 3 to 5, participated in this study. Participants, obtained from three Head Start programs in northeastern Oklahoma, were administered the Preschool Language Scale-3 (PLS-3). Results indicated that the PLS-3 provided a valid assessment of the receptive and expressive language skills of 3- and 4-year-old Native American children. Use of the PLS-3 with 5-year-old Native American children is questionable.
