Dr. Cate Crowley walks us through an appropriate evaluation of a culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) preschooler, previously misdiagnosed. She takes us from the parent interview, to interacting with the child, writing the evaluation and even formulating appropriate IEP goals.
The purpose of this module series is to give evaluators a step-by-step approach to how to assess and evaluate a preschool-age child, based on current federal law, state regulations, ASHA guidelines, and evidence-based practice. Dr. Cate Crowley discusses the full process of using clinical judgement to come up with a differential diagnosis for a child.
