Validity and Reliability
DREAM–S has shown excellent sensitivity and specificity for different age groups as a screening tool for children's language development. At the end of 2019, the Bethel research team published an academic report on the reliability and validity of DREAM–S and its clinical application at the annual convention of American Speech–Language–Hearing Association (ASHA), marking DREAM–S internationally recognized as a standardized language development screening tool for Mandarin–speaking children.
Please Note That DREAM–S Is Derived From DREAM–C, The Normed Assessment Of Monolingual Mandarin–Speaking Children Located In Mainland China. We Recommend That Practitioners Use The Screening Result As A Clinical Reference For Bilingual Or Monolingual Mandarin–Speaking Children Residing Outside Mainland China.
