True Confessions Episode 54: We used to only do language samples during a formal evaluation.
May 15, 2023
Today we have Dr. Stacey Pavelko in the confessional and are talking about all things language sampling! She is the co-creator of the SUGAR language sample analysis (LSA), a quick, simple and researched way to get the information you need. Before you say ugh and click away - LSA doesn’t have to be hard! And it is a critical component not just for differential diagnosis but also for ongoing assessment for students on your caseload. Dr. Stacey breaks down how to make LSA more clinician friendly, and discusses considerations we need to take for eliciting great samples for students of all ages.
