The Role Written Expression Can Play in Assessment, Eligibility, and Dismissal in Schools (PD102727)

Presenter(s): Nickola W Nelson, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL

Credit(s): PDHs: 2.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.2

Summary: Written expression is one of the four major modalities (along with listening comprehension, spoken expression, and reading decoding and comprehension) that SLPs need to assess when identifying language and literacy disorders among school-age children and adolescents. This session shares a framework for analyzing the variety of tasks used for written language assessment on standardized tests and considers pros and cons of each to inform decisions regarding eligibility and dismissal. The session includes opportunities to practice applying a multilevel language analysis system to written language samples of students with varied profiles. This course is a recorded session from the 2022/2023 online conference "Assessment, Eligibility, and Dismissal in Schools: Strategies, Tools, and Decision-Making."
