This course examines the diagnostic process and the nature of assessment in the differential diagnosis of communication disorders across populations. There is a focus on understanding both psychometric assessment characteristics and constraints in the use of norm-referenced and other measurement means including dynamic, authentic, and curriculum-based assessment. The nature of cross cultural and cross linguistic diversity in assessment is examined as it impacts the assessment process and the differential diagnosis of a communication disorder. The development of skills in professional writing is also a core feature of this course.
