So glad you found this helpful! When are you starting at the beginning that is considered a basil, but if the client is working backwards you would go all the way back to the beginning- if necessary. I'd argue that if that's going to happen they probably can't do the trials, and if that's the case you don't administer the test.
Thank you so much for the rundown of the CASL-2! It was a great video to watch after reviewing the manual and first easel. I have a couple of follow-up questions. I know not all tests need to be administered, but do you pick and choose or do 1 entire easel? If answers that are not listed are supplied by the student, would that get marked as incorrect?
Claire, You have to administer the core of the test, and then the subtests from there that would be helpful or further information can be given. For example, if the client doesn't do well in receptive language you would consider administering more of the subtests w/in that domain to get a further look at what specifically is going on w/them. Sadly, when a client gives us an answer that is not on the test as acceptable we can't give them the credit for it. Over the years I've had kids come up w/some really creative ones, and it's a bummer I can't give them any credit. That's the downside to standardized tests, but that's also a good example as to why dynamic assessment is so important.
Thank you so much! Using it on a 12 yr old tomorrow!💓 very helpful video!
So helpful!! Thank you!
Thanks for this information! What do you do if you cannot establish a basal for one of the sub tests?
