Description
Please note: Registration is not yet open. It will open in February 2026.
The MacArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MB-CDIs) capture parents’ knowledge of their child’s emerging language skills. Used with children ages 8-37 months, the MB-CDIs can assist school personnel and families in identifying steps toward building a full foundation of language. University of Colorado - Boulder’s Early Language Outcomes Lab will offer an overview and special considerations of the assessment to equip you to guide families in documenting their child’s vocabulary and communication growth.
The MB-CDIs are Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids (LEAD-K) Michigan recommended assessments.
