The theme for this SIG 14 activity was multicultural considerations in language assessment and autism screenings. Topics included (a) assessing article production accuracy in an Arabic-English speaking child and (b) examination of the utility of the Vietnamese language version of the Modified Checklist of Autism in Toddlers-Revision with Follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/F) for screening Vietnamese children for autism risk.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• illustrate a bilingual participant’s grammatical production patterns (e.g., articles) in table format using tables created by the authors as a reference
• describe two-step autism screening procedures using the M-CHAT-R/F
