In the last Child Language Bulletin (www.childlanguage.org/latestbulletin) Annick De Houwer looked back at HaBilNet3, which welcomed over 70 junior & senior participants to Donostia/San Sebastián, Spain to discuss language-related well-being in bilinguals. Sounds like it was a stimulating workshop!

This study focuses on two of the most common methods for measuring speech intelligibility in children in clinical practice and in research: orthographic transcription measures and parent-reported ratings as measured by the Intelligibility in Context Scale
