The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of nonword repetition in the identification of language impairment in bilingual children. Thirteen studies were identified with the eligibility criteria for this meta-analysis and were evaluated based on the quality of evidence, design characteristics, and reported diagnostic accuracy. The article authors then identified characteristics that could be associated with better classification accuracy to reach the conclusion that the diagnostic accuracy across studies ranged from poor to good. The gathered evidence suggests that nonword repetition can be useful in the assessment language disorders in bilingual children when used to accompany other assessment measures.

The purpose of the present study was to describe and compare the nonword repetition performance of preschool-age Spanish-speaking children with and without language impairment and to contrast the classification accuracy of these tasks. Spanish nonword repetition task and a standardized Spanish language measure were administered to a sample of forty-four Spanish-speaking children where twenty-one children had a language impairment and twenty-three had typically developing language. Bilingual children with language impairment had lower scores than the typically developing children. This nonword repetition task demonstrated acceptable levels of sensitivity and specificity and it’s recommended to use as part of assessment tasks for preschool-age Spanish-speaking children.
