THERE IS A
SOLUTION.
After 20+ years of conducting evaluations, we are
excited when we get these questions because we have
the answer! Not only that, but it’s the same answer for

“Use Dynamic Assessment!”
If your response to hearing this is like most, it probably

Yet, it has to be one of the most misunderstood and
underutilized tools in the entire field of speech language
pathology. If you don’t know what DA is, you are actually
at an advantage. Many of us got out of grad school or
our first job with preconceived notions that limited our
ability to understand how quick and powerful DA is at
making our testing lives easier. Not to mention, it’s free
and usually takes only a few minutes.
