🦉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, This week I'm walking through the TOLD I:5 for students ages 8 through 17. I think of this test as a tough test partially because there is only one subtest with visual support. However, it's much faster and feels more academic than the CELF5. What do you think? Watch: TOLD I:5 Full Walkthrough I think there is a place and a time for most assessments and this can give you some information that can help you plan intervention for older students. ********* Back when I was providing...
Hi everyone, This week I'm walking through the Test of Word Finding, 3rd edition. And I like it a lot. Finding a good test of word finding is important because we've all had those clients who really struggle to find words. What I like about this test is that there are two main components. The first easel you administer to test clients' abilities to find a word when given a picture, without a picture, and then verbs. Then after you are done with that, you get out the comprehension check easel....
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...
