Date: Tuesday 3rd December 2013 (click the link to register)
Time: 19:00 - 20:15 GMT

About: The webinar will look at the Test of Memory and Learning – second edition (TOMAL-2), which provides professionals with a standardised measure of different memory functions for children, adolescents and adults, for the age range 5 through to 59.11 years.  This can be used as a wide ranging and flexible tool for highlighting subtle aspects of short term auditory memory and working memory comparisons, and is being widely used as a replacement for the Digit Memory Test: for the purposes of DSA assessments, examination access arrangements, and general diagnostic purposes.

Note: This session presupposes familiarity with Diagnostic Assessment testing.
