Interesting to learn about other diagnostic measures which can be utilized for bilingual assessment. Also, significant that literature/ data supports using various formal and informal instruments which should be considered equally to make a diagnostic decision versus relying heavily upon the "standardized Instrument."

I am sorry but I had a difficult time understanding some of what the presenter said, and the text box was not very helpful as it often contained obvious errors on the very words that I did not understand.

The presenter spent the majority of the time talking about her research studies and her opinions on standardized tests and not addressing the main topic. She was of the opinion that standardized tests should not be relied upon but the difficulty is that many insurances and state educations require you to have a standardized measure. So the standardized measures cannot be thrown out completely as the presenter seemed to imply that she wanted it to be.
