In this module, Cate looks at Sofie’s academic achievement through past standardized test scores, an extensive teacher interview, observations of her schoolwork, and information from Sofie and her mother. We learn that Sofie’s current school is a productive environment with stimulating instruction, and that Sofie has made significant progress over the past two years in her current school environment. This gives us further information in determining whether the language development concerns expressed by Sofie’s new family point to a difference, disorder or gap.
