Event Description:

Dynamic assessment (DA) has been proposed as a non-biased method for determining language differences vs. language impairment. It can be used to assess children in a number of domains (vocabulary learning, narratives, and categorization). In this workshop, participants will learn about the DA framework (test-teach-retest) and about the teaching methods utilized during the teach portion of the assessment (mediated learning experience). Research and case studies illustrating the utility and application will be presented. The "Dynamic Assessment of Narratives" procedure will be presented in detail and participants will have the opportunity to discuss possible adaptations of the procedure for specific populations and a range of ages.
