(Hasson et al., 2013) Discriminating Disorder from Difference Using Dynamic Assessment with Bilingual Children
This study builds on recent evidence of the usefulness of dynamic assessment (DA) along with a mediated learning experience (MLE) and graduated prompting as a more appropriate method of determining the presence of language disorder (LD) in culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) children.
(Alt, Meyers, & Figueroa 2013) Factors That Influence Fast Mapping in Children Exposed to Spanish and English
The current study asked whether bilingual children would show less advantage in fast-mapping high-probability words as a result of interference from the second language (in this case Spanish) when compared to monolingual (English) children.
Dynamic Assessment: Fast Mapping Introduction and Example 1 (PDE: Module 31)
This module introduces another form of dynamic assessment: fast mapping.
Dynamic Assessment: Fast Mapping Introduction and Example 2 (PDE: Module 32)
This module includes a different example of fast-mapping with a child with a mild delay.
Dynamic Assessment: Fast Mapping Introduction and Example 3 (PDE: Module 33)
This module provides another example of dynamic assessment using fast-mapping with a child with a mild to moderate delay.
Clinical Judgment/Informed Clinical Opinion Part 1 (PDE: Module 35)
This module begins to explain exactly what clinical judgment, or informed clinical opinion, is and how to use it during the evaluation process.
Quantification without Standardized Tests (PDE: Module 37)
This modules explains how to provide quantification for a delay or disorder, if one exists, as it is required by the law.
Understanding Assessment: Assessment Materials- Fast Mapping
Fast mapping is a type of novel word-learning, dynamic assessment used in evaluating preschool and school-aged children.
Understanding Assessment: Applying Dynamic Assessment
Dynamic Assessment is a method of assessment which uses a “test-teach-retest” model and the emphasis is on the individual’s ability to acquire the skills/knowledge being tested after being exposed to instruction.
