This article discusses issues relevant to the use of an instrument that screens speech and language development and reviews instruments that are currently available for screening general speech and language development in children age birth through 8 years. Five instruments for the assessment of general speech and language development are reviewed. Each of these instruments has strengths, but none completely meets the requirements of psychometric soundness and practicality for use in most ambulatory pediatric settings. Each practitioner should consider the strengths and limitations associated with each instrument, as well as the needs and characteristics of the population who will be screened to make an informed decision about the most appropriate instrument(s) for use in their practice.
本文讨论了与一种筛查言语和语言发育的工具的使用相关的问题，并对目前可用于筛查出生至8岁儿童一般言语和语言发育的工具进行了综述。对五种评估一般言语和语言发育的工具进行了综述。这些工具各有优点，但在大多数门诊儿科环境中使用时，没有一种能完全满足心理测量学可靠性和实用性的要求。每位从业者都应考虑每种工具的优缺点，以及接受筛查人群的需求和特点，以便就其临床实践中最适合使用的工具做出明智的决定。
