Do you know what age ranges the BESA will cover and when it is scheduled to be available for purchase? Does anyone know of a Spanish or Bilingual Spanish-English test for age 0 and up (appropriate for Birth - 3), other than the PLS-4 Spanish Edition? Thank you.

It helps everyone know how carefully specific tests have been developed in Spanish. Unfortunately, may people think that versions of tests in Spanish are translations of English. Before purchasing a test the buyer should read about the test development process of a given test. To Charley. A very helpful resource for Spanish language development, consult Educating Latino Preschool Children by Hart Kayser. Plural Publishers. Nancy. Thank you for your article.

As part of our state's newborn hearing screening program, I am looking for ways providers can better advise parents on monitoring their children's hearing, at least from birth to three.

There is a replay that you can access from www.asha.org . I think the cost is $99, but it does give you access to the notes which have a lot of that information. The presentation was excellent and you get 0.2 CEUs for participating. Other than that, I'm really interested to see what anyone else out there has. Hi Liz,
