PURPOSE This review article critically interrogates the history and the current practice of standardized assessment in speech and language therapy. Speech and language assessments utilizing standardized linguistic norms are a critical tool for constructing disability and controlling disabled individuals. Such practices are rooted in a medical model of disability where the linguistic practice(s) of the individual is pathologized to create normalcy and disorder. METHOD We examine how these practices are anchored in eugenics and the racist logics of intelligence testing in which racialized populations were rendered as linguistically and biologically inferior. RESULTS This review article shows how ideologies governing standardized assessments are influenced by racism, ableism, and the nation-state and serve as foundational mechanisms to enable surveillance and capital production. It demonstrates how standard language ideologies are central to standardized testing. Speech and language therapy practices upholding these ideologies contribute to unrestrained wealth generation for the testing industry. CONCLUSIONS The review article ends with a call for clinicians, educators, and researchers to critically examine the relationship between standardized assessment, race, disability, and capitalism in speech-language therapy. This process will contribute toward dismantling the hegemonic role of standardized assessment in oppression and marginalization of speech and language-disabled individuals.

言语和语言治疗标准化测试的批判性分析。

目的这篇评论文章批判性地质疑了言语和语言治疗标准化评估的历史和当前实践。利用标准化语言规范进行言语和语言评估是构建残疾和控制残疾人的重要工具。这种做法植根于残疾的医学模型，在该模型中，个人的语言实践被病态化，以创造正常和混乱。方法 我们研究了这些做法如何植根于优生学和智力测试的种族主义逻辑，其中种族化人群在语言和生物学上被视为劣等。结果这篇评论文章展示了管理标准化评估的意识形态如何受到种族主义、体能歧视、和民族国家，并作为实现监视和资本生产的基础机制。它展示了标准语言意识形态如何成为标准化测试的核心。坚持这些意识形态的言语和语言治疗实践有助于为测试行业创造无限制的财富。结论 这篇综述文章最后呼吁临床医生、教育工作者和研究人员批判性地研究言语治疗中标准化评估、种族、残疾和资本主义之间的关系。这一过程将有助于消除标准化评估对言语和语言障碍者的压迫和边缘化的霸权作用。坚持这些意识形态的言语和语言治疗实践有助于为测试行业创造无限制的财富。结论 这篇综述文章最后呼吁临床医生、教育工作者和研究人员批判性地研究言语治疗中标准化评估、种族、残疾和资本主义之间的关系。这一过程将有助于消除标准化评估对言语和语言障碍者的压迫和边缘化的霸权作用。坚持这些意识形态的言语和语言治疗实践有助于为测试行业创造无限制的财富。结论 这篇综述文章最后呼吁临床医生、教育工作者和研究人员批判性地研究言语治疗中标准化评估、种族、残疾和资本主义之间的关系。这一过程将有助于消除标准化评估对言语和语言障碍者的压迫和边缘化的霸权作用。和言语治疗中的资本主义。这一过程将有助于消除标准化评估对言语和语言障碍者的压迫和边缘化的霸权作用。和言语治疗中的资本主义。这一过程将有助于消除标准化评估对言语和语言障碍者的压迫和边缘化的霸权作用。
