How BESA Works
Through a combination of subtests for students and surveys for teachers and parents, BESA reveals the big picture of a young bilingual child’s language development. BESA includes: • 3 subtests (in both English and Spanish) that address the key domains of morphosyntax, semantics, and phonology. • 2 questionnaires: the Bilingual Input-Output
Survey (BIOS) and the Inventory to Assess
Language Knowledge (ITALK) • Pragmatic activity used to establish rapport with the child and give clinicians an idea of how interactive the child will be during the assessment.
Bilingual English–Spanish Assessment™ (BESA™)
By Elizabeth D. Peña, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Vera F. Gutiérrez-Clellen, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Aquiles Iglesias, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Brian A. Goldstein, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, & Lisa M. Bedore, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
When a young bilingual child experiences language difficulties, it can be hard to tell if those challenges are due to a disorder or just limited exposure to the English language. Now there’s a valid, reliable assessment that specifically responds to the needs of young Spanish-English bilingual children. For use with children ages 4 through 6 years who have varying degrees of bilingualism, the Bilingual English–Spanish Assessment (BESA) was developed to: • Identify phonological and/or language impairment in bilingual children and English language learners using a standardized protocol • Differentiate between a delay in English language acquisition and a true language disorder • Document children’s speech and language strengths and needs • Monitor children's progress in both languages and use the information to make decisions about intervention
BESA BENEFITS • Valid and reliable • Culturally and linguistically appropriate • Helps you gauge progress in both languages • Flexible and convenient—use each BESA component independently or combine them as part of an assessment battery

“BESA is the one assessment that I trust to help me make better clinical decisions regarding my bilingual clients’ presence of a communication disorder. I believe BESA represents the growing demand for tools that more precisely identify communication disorders in diverse populations. I am exultant to know BESA is currently available!“
—Xigrid Soto, Ph.D. candidate at University of South Florida “Measures like the Bilingual English–Spanish Assessment (BESA) are critically needed to comprehensively examine the language development of bilingual preschoolers. I commend the authors for the rigorous research undertaken to produce such an important measure for the field and, most importantly, for young bilingual children.“
—Sandra Barrueco, The Catholic University of America

For English–Spanish bilingual children, now there’s the new QUILS™: ES!
