To develop best practices for the assessment and intervention of bilingual children and Spanish-speaking children at risk of language and academic difficulties. Specifically, we aim to:

• Develop language interventions in the children’s native language and English as second language
• Improve literacy outcomes in all the languages children speak
• Determine identifiers of language disorders in bilingual and Spanish-speaking children
• Differentiate language difference from language disorders in at risk children
• Train preschool personnel to optimize language development in Dual language learners
