So many SLPs do not realize that just because a test is published does not mean it is sensitive and specific! Also, I love that she touched on the fact that cut scores must be empirically derived and not arbitrary, like most states and districts impose on SLPS (e.g., must be 1.5 SD below the mean, etc.). Psychometrics are KEY!

I probably rely too much on standardized testing. The confidence levels - glad to be reminded on that! I work four districts and not all are requiring speech only to go through SSMT; this article may help as standardized testing should go along with other assessment tools.
