Differential Diagnosis in Preschool Evaluations: A Case Study

Module 4: Academic Language in Receptive and Expressive Language

Cate introduces Alex, the child being evaluated for this case study. She begins the evaluation by using a variety of materials available on LEADERSproject.org. These materials are called SLAM (School-aged Language Assessment Measure) and include language elicitation cards intended both for younger preschool and elementary school aged children as well as cards intended for middle and high schoolers. Cate uses these materials along with the questions included to elicit quality language samples which will then be compared to developmental norms, considering Alex’s background and prior experiences.
