Description
Look at the case study word document ‘ Language Assessment in Deaf Children’ and answer these questions regarding the assessment of language and communication skills:
Explain how you would go about assessing the child/young person’s language skills in terms of your use of informal and formal approaches to assessment.
Provide details of which formal assessments and/or other published tools you would choose to help you with your assessment and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these tools.
Critically evaluate other factors, (including factors to do with the profile of the child/young person and ethical considerations), not given in the details of the case here, that will have an impact on which assessments you use or how you go about assessing. Support your reasoning with reference to published research/literature.
Discuss how you would use this information to programme plan
