The Concurrent Validity of the Minnesota Child Development Inventory as a Measure of Young Children's Language Development.

Tomblin, J. Bruce; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v54 n1 p101-05 Feb 1989

Fifty-seven children, aged 23-28 months, were assessed using the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development, mean length of utterance, and Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI). The MCDI Expressive Language scale was found to be a valid predictor of expressive language. The MCDI Comprehension-Conceptual scale appeared to assess both receptive and expressive language.
