The New Reynell Developmental Language Scales (NRDLS)

Speech and language therapists provide assessment and intervention to children with a range of speech and language delays and impairments.  It is crucial that appropriate tools for assessment are available to help identify where problems occur and to guide early intervention.
Equally, it is more important than ever that the impact of such intervention is measured over time.
This fourth edition of the Reynell Developmental Language Scales (NRDLS) is up to date in terms of both good practice and the latest research.
