Note. Bold values indicate significant effects based on a likelihood ratio test. To measure proficiency while reducing the confound with diagnostic status, Spanish and English Bilingual English-Spanish Assessment (BESA) morphosyntax standard scores were z scored within each group separately. Coefficients indicate the effect of a 1 SD increase above the mean score within the child's group. DLD = developmental language disorder; TLD = typical language development; n/a = not applicable.
