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.
