Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) will learn about the use of dynamic assessment (DA) when evaluating Navajo children for language disorders. This includes identifying limits of standardized assessment as it relates to evaluation of language and how to identify children with and without developmental language disorders (DLD) in Navajo children. SLPs will learn the benefits of the DA model as compared to traditional standardized assessment to identify children with DLD. Accreditation
