Initial Template for Speech-Language Evaluators.pdf
Dr. Cate Crowley created this document to support speech language pathologists in appropriate disability determination, from carrying out the assessment to writing a quality report. Included here is a template along with the law, policy and research supporting it as best practicing in identifying individuals with disability. Cate first introduces us to the law (city, state and federal) that requires us to provide assessments that are not discriminatory due to bias, valid, reliable and able to distinguish disability from “something else.” Then each section that should be included in a quality evaluation is listed and described. Below are supporting documents as well as a playlist demonstrating this process that can be found elsewhere on the LEADERS website.
