Abstract
Context: Specific and universal terms for identifying children with persistent language impairment vary widely among speech-language pathologists nationally and internationally. Between 2017 and 2021, a multidisciplinary international consensus on the terminology and approach to the diagnosis of developmental language disorder (DLD) was reached (Bishop et al., 2017; Maillart et al., 2021; Robillard, 2019). In French-speaking minority communities in Canada, the identification of DLD is further complicated because the coexistence of two (or more) languages often requires a lengthy and comprehensive assessment to confirm the presence of a disorder. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine whether speech-language pathologists working with children attending French minority schools use the term DLD (implying the act of making a diagnosis) and how speech-language pathologists assess and identify DLD. Methods: Eighty-six speech-language pathologists working in a francophone minority community in Canada completed a survey regarding the diagnosis and use of the term “developmental language disorder” with children attending French-language schools, and to identify barriers to the use of this term. Results: In summary, the results indicated that 73.3% of speech-language pathologists surveyed use the term DLD. Participants reported a significant need for training and awareness (amongst teachers and families) regarding the diagnosis and use of the term. In addition, a significant lack of material and human resources was raised. Five recommendations to increase the frequency of use of the Developmental Language Disorder term and to improve language assessment in minority language settings were made. Conclusion: In order to increase awareness of DLD and its effects on a child’s daily life, academic performance, and social life, training for families, teachers, and speech-language pathologists is needed. In addition, it is important to address the lack of scientific research as well as the shortage of human and material resources in the minority language context in order to better assess, diagnose and intervene with children who have language difficulties.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
