Abstract

The school inclusion has required new ways of evaluating the learning processes of children with special educational needs or learning disabilities (LD). The contributions of dynamic assessment for this area were presented in this study that gathered data from two studies with children 8-12 years of age, 7 with deficits (mild to severe) in the skills of language and communication, using the Children’s Analogical Thinking Modifiability Test (CATM) adapted, before and after intervention with computerized system of Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC), and 34 students with LD, by the Constraint-Seeking Questions Game with Several Figures (CSQ-SF) before and after program to promote creativity. Also cognitive psychometric tests were applied, observing poor performance. However, all children showed gains between pre and post-test. The data show that the dynamic assessment is prescriptive and sensitive to evaluate the effects of programs for this population.
