Practitioner's Guide to Dynamic Assessment

By: Carol Schneider Lidz

Dynamic assessment is a recently developed, interactive approach to psychoeducational assessment that follows a test-intervene-retest format, focuses on learning processes and modifiability, and provides the possibility of direct linkage between assessment and intervention. The second book on the topic by Dr. Lidz, this volume is a hands-on guide that is designed specifically for practitioners who engage in diagnostic assessment related to the functioning of children in school. It reviews and critiques current models of dynamic assessment and presents the research available on these existing models. But primarily, this is a text to help practitioners carry out an actual dynamic assessment procedure. The book includes two comprehensive manuals, each providing theoretical background, descriptions of procedures, forms, and reviews of available research. The first manual describes the Mediated Learning Experience Rating Scale. This scale adapts Feuerstein's concept of MLE, postulated to describe adult activities within an adult-child interaction that facilitate the child's cognitive development. The scale is useful for assessment and consultation with both parents and teachers and, in addition, it also describes the behavior of the assessor during the course of dynamic assessment. The second manual describes the author's model for dynamic assessment. This model rests on a theory of neuropsychological foundations of mental processing as developed by Luria and elaborated by Naglieri and Das. The model preserves the test-intervene-retest format, focuses on learner modifiability and, most significantly, links the assessment with educational interventions. Detailing the implementation of an actual dynamic assessment procedure that is linked with educational interventions, this book is a valuable guide for diagnostic assessors from a wide variety of backgrounds including school, clinical, and counseling psychology, as well as special and regular education and speech and language pathology. PRACTITIONER'S GUIDE TO DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT also serves as a text for advanced graduate courses in assessment.

Dynamic Assessment in Practice

Clinical and Educational Applications

By: H. Carl Haywood,Carol S. Lidz

Dynamic assessment embeds interaction within the framework of a test-intervene-retest approach to psychoeducational assessment. This book offers an introduction to diagnostic assessors in psychology, education, and speech/language pathology to the basic ideas, principles, and practices of dynamic assessment. Most importantly, the book presents an array of specific procedures developed and used by the authors that can be applied to clients of all ages in both clinical and educational settings. The authors discuss their approach to report-writing, with a number of examples to demonstrate how they incorporate dynamic assessment into a comprehensive approach to assessment. The text concludes with a discussion of issues and questions that need to be considered and addressed. Two appendixes include descriptions of additional tests used by the authors that are adapted for dynamic assessment, as well as information about dynamic assessment procedures developed by others and sources for additional information about this approach.

Developing a Foundation for Learning with Internationally Adopted Children

Family-based Activities for Remedial Learning and Attachment

By: Boris Gindis,Carol Schneider Lidz

This practice-focused guide introduces The SmartStart Toolbox as an effective remedial program to help adoptive parents and professionals support the educational and social development of internationally adopted children. Recognizing the specific cultural, emotional, and cognitive needs of late-adopted children, the program details a range of family-based remedial activities which provide scaffolded learning and attachment opportunities during children's early interactions with their adoptive families. Alongside explanation of the novel theoretical foundation which grounds the activities, chapters offer step-by-step guidance on conducting activities and adapting them to the individual child, simultaneously stimulating thinking and learning while creating and facilitating attachment between the adopted children and their adoptive parents. These structured interactions are suitable for use as diagnostic-prescriptive procedures, or as remedial sessions led by professionals or parents with children aged 4 - 8 years old. This text will benefit researchers, academics, clinicians, social workers, and educators with an interest in child development, cognitive and language development, and adoption and fostering more broadly. Adoptive parents will also benefit from this book and its focus on themes of attachment, parenting, and the development of social cognition. Boris Gindis is a Licensed Psychologist and a Nationally Certified Bilingual School Psychologist in the US. Carol S. Lidz is a Licensed Psychologist, Consultant and Trainer in Dynamic Assessment. She is author of Let's Think About It and is based in the US"--
