title: Test-retest and interobserver reliability of the Early Language Milestone Scale, second edition.
abstract: Test-retest and interobserver reliability are reported for the Early Language Milestone Scale, second edition, a language assessment tool for infants and children from birth to 36 months of age. Reliability data are presented for two scoring methods: the pass-fail method that yields a global rating of "pass" or "fail," and the point-scoring method that yields percentile scores. Both scoring methods showed good reliability. The clinical applicability of each scoring system is discussed.
