Diagnostic Center North: Best Practices in Assessment for Speech and Language Pathologists

Best Practices in Assessment for Speech and Language Pathologists Assessments are the foundation for the IEP process. However, myths abound about speech language assessment, how students are eligible and who gets served. Myths like writing a report isn’t necessary for SLPs. It is fine to offer services without an assessment. A student needs to score below the 7th percentile for speech services. You can’t serve students with a single articulation error. There is a “speech IEP.” This seminar will tackle the requirements for assessment under IDEA and the California Education Code. What to assess, what to include in the report and how students become eligible will be discussed. The content is appropriate for speech language pathologists serving students at all grade levels and disabilities.

Participants Will:

• Describe what to include in an assessment of speech and language skills. (OHI).
• List what to include in the assessment report.
• Discuss eligibility under Speech Language Impairment and the speech language pathologist’s role as a related service provider.

A Certificate of Completion is available to participants. The Diagnostic Center is a California Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board (CSHA) approved continuing professional development provider. All DCN Trainings are eligible to count towards your requirement for continuing professional development hours.
