Description

Lia Castiglione describes the content of the relevant ToD tests and composites, evaluating how these can be used to provide EAA assessment evidence and show how the scores are recorded on Form 8.

As the ToD has been approved by SASC for diagnostic SpLD assessments, Lia also provides materials showing how the ToD might fit with the current SASC report format.

A Q&A session follows the presentation.
