Hi, I am a DLL researcher and noticed that in the final quiz, one question noted that DLLs should be assessed in English even if it isn't their stronger language. Here's a link to my article on why this is not best practice (https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/11/6/283). It inaccurately reflects their abilities. Other than that, more videos would be nice! Best, Brooke Rumper

I've done child assessments before, but without this much instruction. There were things I often wondered about when conducting those assessments, and most of those things I wondered about were confirmed and disconfirmed right here.

It's absolutely well done. I like that every step is explained in detail and that there are videos, where you can see the procedure.

I liked the fact that the videos were attached to the readings and I was able to go back over the quizzes.

I liked the repetitive quiz questions. I feel they really helped me remember the elements and administration of the MEFS.
I enjoyed the use of videos with each sections and the attention to detail on dealing with adverse testing issues.
