The Bilingual English-Spanish Assessment was launched during the ASHA convention after 14 years of development. It is a test of morphosyntax, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics for Spanish-English bilingual children aged 4;0 to 6;11 years. It has been normed on 10 dialects of Spanish and 7 regional US dialects of English for children. Here is the reference:
