In this playlist, Dr. Cate Crowley walks evaluators through a step-by-step approach to how to assess and evaluate a school-aged child based on current federal law, state regulations, ASHA guidelines, and evidence-based practice.
We begin by gathering background, including language acquisitional and educational history. Then Cate conducts interviews with parents, teachers and the child, Sofie, to gain information on Sofie’s academic performance. Finally, Cate collects a language sample and information on Sofie’s language development through SLAM materials (Available at www.leadersproject.org) and subtests of the CELF-5 administered in a non-standard way. Cate makes the determination based on the information gathered in module 4.
