Language skills test for Dutch two year olds.


A large group of scientists at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam have published a report showing that testing two year old toddlers for problems in the development of their language skills may prevent serious problems at a later age.

The report says that early intervention can prevent one in three children with language problems ending up in remedial education. The scientists expect that a standard language skills test for two year olds will yield about 4,800 children who need additional coaching.
