Abstract | This study examined the screening accuracy of the Cantonese Early Identification Test for
Pre-primary Children (CEIT) in identifying Cantonese-speaking preschool children with
language impairment (LI). Nineteen children, aged between 5;01 and 5;06, from 2
kindergarten-cum-nurseries and an Early Education Training Centre, were administered the
CEIT and the HKCOLAS’s Cantonese Grammar subtest. The CEIT was found to have high
sensitivity (100%), fair specificity (77%), and modest LR+ (4.35) and LR- (0.23) values if
the “gold” standard for the child’s language status was determined by the Cantonese
Grammar subtest score. This finding provides further evidence that the CEIT is a potentially
useful language screening tool for preschool children in Hong Kong. Further research should
examine its screening accuracy with a larger and broader age group of children, and with the
use of current performance in objective measures as the “gold” standard of language status. |
