The Dynamic Assessment of Language Learning

A practical assessment for children with language impairments. The tool presents how, why and who to use a Dynamic Assessment with, explaining the theory and benefits of using this approach and a "how-to" guide. Whereas normal assessments simply identify deficits, this method also identifies the child's actual potential to learn during the evaluation and this information enables professionals to make more informed decisions on appropriate interventions and strategies. Illustrative case studies and practice examples are provided. Includes templates, prompt sheets, score sheets, and more. Covers: Phonology, Morphology, Word Level, Sentence Level, Narrative and Discourse. For SLTs, Educational Psychologists and educators.
