Kansas' Language Assessment Program: Year 3
After three years of implementing the Kansas language assessment program for children who are deaf/hard of hearing (LAP-DHH), improvements have continued to be made in the areas of the program’s core values: reliability, integrity, transparency, and collaboration. This session will provide information on our first three years of the program, including outcome data. Additional information will be shared related to research partnerships and the revised ASL/English language milestones document. Presenters will also provide guidance related to collaborating with key stakeholders.
- Participants will be able to identify benefits families have experienced during their participation in LAP-DHH.
- Participants will be able to identify three key stakeholders in their state with whom they can initiate and/or build a collaborative relationship.
- Participants will be able to identify key aspects of the program that lead to reliability of outcome data.
