This article describes the prevalence of language problems among delinquents and potential reasons they did not receive language services prior to their commitment to a correctional facility. Sixty-seven girls between the ages of 13 and 17 were tested on the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-3 (CELF-3) and the Adolescent WORD Test (WORD Test). Three additional language measures, including a self-assessment measure, were administered to participants performing more than 1.3 below the mean on the CELF-3 and WORD Test. Findings provide clues to partially explain why some incarcerated adolescents are overlooked for language services. Implications for planning programs are provided.
