- A public school teacher refers DePonce, an African American second grader, for speech- language assessment. According to the teacher, "DePonce does not always say his words correctly. I think he might have a grammar problem, too." The clinician screens DePonce and finds that he uses AAE.

The clinician can accurately conclude that:
