Language Development Survey (LDS) Forms (pkg 50)

The Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5 (CBCL 1.5-5) obtains parents', day-care providers', and teachers' ratings of 99 problem items plus descriptions of problems, disabilities, respondent concerns about the child, and the best things about the child.

The Language Development Survey (LDS) Form obtains parents' reports of their children's speech (expressive vocabularies and word combinations) and risk factors for language delays, from 18 months to 35 months.

The LDS is contained in the CBCL 1.5-5 Form (page 3 and 4), or available separately.

It is recommended the LDS be completed by all parents of children under 3, or those over 3 with suspected language delays.
