“The results of the assessment provide not only a better understanding of the student’s pragmatic language skills and his social interactive functioning, but also his ability to effectively apply social knowledge to the academic curriculum. A well-done assessment can guide the team in designing specific and tangible social and academic goals. …A student may score extremely well on all sub-tests of IQ and language, yet perform quite poorly on dynamic measures of communication.” (Winner, 2007)
