BOOK DESCRIPTION This is a practical, accessible manual for Speech and Language Therapists and Educational Psychologists who assess children with language impairments, explaining how and why to implement Dynamic Assessment. Where normal assessments statically identify deficits, Dynamic Assessment also identifies the child's potential to learn by allowing for prompts from you, during the assessment, thus far better informing your decisions about appropriate interventions and strategies to help the children you work with. What does this book do? • Introduces the theory and principles of Dynamic Assessment and the benefits of applying this approach to the assessment of language. • Provides practical guidance, examples and templates including questions, prompts and scoring to help you implement your own Dynamic Assessments. • Shows you how to interpret Dynamic Assessments and use the findings to devise interventions that better meet the individual needs of the children you work with. Written by an experienced Speech and Language Therapist who leads the field in researching the dynamic assessment of language, and with a foreword by best-selling author team Stephen Parsons and Anna Branagan, this book is the definitive guide for practitioners.
