We recommend that children are identified to receive the NELI programme using information from their assessment with LanguageScreen. The assessment provides a quick, accurate and objective method for identifying children who need language support and are likely to benefit from the NELI programme. It also provides a sensitive measure of the progress in language skills produced by the NELI programme. We cannot comment on the suitability of any alternative screening measures as a means of identifying children to receive the NELI programme.
