        @rkieran @sapinker interesting. I wonder if it gives suggestions as to what to do to support children scoring poorly.

        @lizzie_h18 @sapinker a screen only I expect! Schools have the autonomy to fix the gaps ;)

        @sapinker does it take into account difference like uninflected present tense in AAVE, i.e. not impairment, dialect? http://www.dldcn.com/vatt.html

        @cassiecreswell @sapinker that is a research tool not GAPS test which is being sold for charity. Dialect not an issue in either. Thanks

        @protoword @sapinker would think non-prof administering test on speaker of non-std variety of english could generate lots of false positives
