Reviews

The SLS is an incisive, elegant screening tool to guide the recommendation for in-depth language and literacy assessment. The straightforward, brief rating scale and comment section offer insight into the student's profile from the perspective of teachers, parents, and the student. Superb case examples are provided in the User's Manual. --Sue Ellen Krause, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, BCS-FD


As an enthusiastic user of the TILLS, I am very happy to have the SLS as an additional tool in my arsenal. The SLS offers an even stronger view of the student's profile of strengths and needs with a clear and manageable rating scale that can easily be incorporated into assessment with TILLS. --Beverly Barkon, MSL, Ph.D., Nationally Certified Educational Diagnostician (#0244)
