The LUI is included among a set of recommended measures for evaluating the efficacy of interventions that target spoken language acquisition in children with autism spectrum disorders by a panel of experts convened by the NIH’s National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (Tager-Flusberg et al., 2009, Journal of Speech, Language, & Hearing Research). Independent recommendations and research studies validating the LUI are continuing to grow! - See our up-to-date list at LUI Research - Publications
“Dear Dr. O'Neill,
I just couldn't resist and had to write to you about how happy I am with the LUI.

“I‘m an SLP working with many children with ASD and I just wanted to say thank you for developing this tool. It’s made it much easier to assess children who are verbal and to give functional feedback and suggestions to families and behavioural intervention teams.”
“It's STANDARDIZED so I can now obtain valuable parent input AND it meets a prong of the state eligibility criteria.” [Read More]
“For toddlers 18 -47 months of age, I highly recommend the Language Use Inventory (LUI)” [Read More]
“We are thrilled with the Language Use Inventory and to finally have a standardized way to measure pragmatic language skills!”
“This test is such a find for me! I'm just starting out in private practice and the ability to use a standardized test and not go bankrupt while I build up my client base, is such a blessing!”
“This is such a wonderful tool to use with my early intervention/preschool clients with suspected pragmatic language difficulties.”
“I just used this for the first time to assess a child for qualification into our preschool program. Easy parent question format, completed same day, and printed report is lovely! The company gave me five free assessments. Very nice. I am an SLP in KY.”
“I'm an SLP working in an Early Childhood Center. I ordered it because sometimes it's difficult to gather all the information we need on our little kiddos. Parents complete the questionnaire and it's quite lengthy. It will provide a "score" and give you some good ideas of where to start your intervention strategies.”
“I love using parent inventories for young ones. It provides not only the necessary info, but insights for the parents as to what to do next....because they are part of it. Parents are children's first teachers and have natural environment on their side!
