在早期评估儿童的语言对于计划早期干预和最大限度地发挥其学习潜力至关重要。在一种独特的泛阿拉伯语语言发展方法中，我们开发了一种新的阿拉伯语评估工具，可供父母和早期教育专业人员使用，以筛选17个阿拉伯国家8个月至30个月儿童的词汇。从两个相关的原始沟通发展调查表（CDI：单词和手势和CDI：单词和句子，Fenson，Marchman，塔尔，Reznick，和贝茨，2007年）出发，我们的阿拉伯语CDI专注于单词（简表），并通过家长报告评估17种主要方言或阿拉伯语的100个单词的理解和生产。数据收集自436名埃及儿童和168名来自其余16个国家的儿童。准二项式模型拟合埃及和其他方言的理解和生产数据表明，埃及的词汇规范可以合理地推断其他方言样本，作为第一个迹象表明，该工具可能适用于不同的国家。
Assessing a child's language in the early years is critical to plan for an early intervention and maximize their learning potential. In a unique pan-Arabic approach to language development, we developed a new Arabic assessment tool, usable by parents and Early Years professionals to screen vocabulary in children between 8 months and 30 months across 17 Arab countries. Departing from the two relevant original Communicative Development Inventory forms (CDI: Words and Gestures and CDI: Words and Sentences, Fenson, Marchman, Thal, Reznick, & Bates, 2007), our Arabic CDI focuses on Words Only (Short Form), and assesses comprehension and production of a list of 100 words in 17 main dialects or Arabic, through a parental report. Data were collected from 436 Egyptian children and 168 children from the remaining 16 countries. Quasi-binomial model fits on Egyptian and Other Dialects comprehension and production data showed that Egyptian vocabulary norms could be reasonably extrapolated to the Other Dialects sample, as a first indication that the tool might be usable across the different countries.
