title: Speech and language screening for audiologists.
abstract: Speech and language screening by audiologists is not new, although few audiologists screen speech and language, which should be an integral component of the audiological evaluation. This article considers ASHA's views about speech and language screening by audiologists, screening tests available to audiologists, and the training of audiologists to screen speech and language.
