This Clinical Bite will explore current practises in the assessment of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) which relate to the mix of static, dynamic and functional approaches that can be used for diagnostic and progress monitoring purposes. The assessment of DLD will be contextualised within the four pillars of evidence based practice and a participation focused approached practice.
Learning objectives
Upon successful completion of this workshop, participants will be able to
- identify appropriate tools and procedures for static dynamic and functional assessment of children and young people with DLD.
- profile strengths and challenges related to DLD for the purpose of diagnosis support planning and progress monitoring
- apply principles and evidence based practice and participation focused goal setting when designing assessment plans for children and young people with DLD.
Who should attend
Registrants must be speech pathologists and have some experience working with children and young people with DLD. Speech pathology students who have undertaken relevant lectures coursework or clinical placements are welcome to attend.
