🦉Hoot, hoot! It's the OWLS2
|
Hi everyone, It's Sunday and I've got another assessment-focused video for you. Last week, we discussed the Expressive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test, Spanish-Bilingual, 4th Edition or the EOW PVT SB4 (click to watch) Watch it here: OWLS2 Assessment If you remember the original OWLS? Maybe it's just some of us that have been doing this for awhile, but I do and I think I want to forget it! The original was clunky and it seems like OWLS2 was developed taking into consideration the problems with the first. I like the fact this is a clear protocol and relatively easy to score. There is a little confusion about how to work back to get a basel if your student struggles at the items are their chronological age. I like the OWLS2 because it's quicker than the CELF because wow that can take so long and then there's some CELF subtests (like recalling sentences) that feel pointless. One thing I didn't share is the writing part of the OWLS2. Do you assess writing on your students? Personally, it would be a rare student that I would be looking at their writing in schools. I leave that to the classroom teacher and the OT. However, if I want to build a case they need support in that area, then I would want to assess those skills. Here's the video link: OWLS2 Assessment. Have a great week ahead!! Thank you, Sarah 💝 |

Hi everyone, I'm walking through the TOLD P5 this week. It's a solid test that I actually forget about. I like that it feels like bulky and long than the CELF. It feels like a real production when you have to give the CELF. But with the TOLD P5, you feel like you get solid info but you didn't have to work too hard to get it! I've given the TOLD P5 before, but I'd like to hear what you think about it! Watch: TOLD P5 BUT you might be just DONE with any speech therapy related if you are on...
Hi everyone, Have you given the TILLS before? The reason I ask is that I do a complete walkthrough of the test in the video below, but as someone who has never given it. So it's my first impressions and honest reaction to the test as I go through it. First of all, 15 subtests? Man, I'm wondering if that's the largest number of subtests I've seen on an assessment before. It certainly feels like the assessment is doing a lot... maybe too much? That's just one thing I noticed about the test. I'd...
Hi everyone, School is out over here and it's nice to have a break. My kids have school for a bit more and I'm still busy with some speech things in order to earn a bunch of interesting CEUs (that I'll elaborate on over the course of the year ahead). But I'm looking at my planner for the summer and I'm wondering where I'm going to get in some relaxation. I'm taking a class towards my doctorate and it's essentially a research methods course... so that's going to take up some time... Have I...
