Abstract

The Baby QUILS (Quick Interactive Language Screener) aims to provide an early assessment of language development for 2-year-olds. In developing the Baby QUILS, it is imperative to validate the test against established measures like the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory. Results indicate that our new measure is correlated with the MCDI.
