# How accurate is the LanguageScreen assessment?

A cluster randomised controlled trial involving 193 schools which was published in [*The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry*](https://oxedandassessment.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/WestEtAl2021.pdf%C2%A0) in 2021, found that a 10-minute LanguageScreen test administered by school staff is **comparable in accuracy** to a 30-minute language assessment, using standardised tests, by professional speech therapists.
