Empowering progress:

A customer’s digital journey to streamlined evaluations

Student and teacher working together.

This playbook explores how staff shortages and the increasing demand for services are impacting school districts and how Pearson’s Digital Assessment Library for Schools can aid in filling the gap.

When caseloads are crushing and time is running out, what can schools do?

Student services specialists are stretched thin. School psychologists and speech-language pathologists are juggling heavier caseloads than ever, while more students need support under IDEA. The result? Burnout is real, and traditional paper-based assessments just can't keep up.

But here's what Montgomery County Intermediate Unit discovered: the right digital tools can change everything.

Digital Assessment Library for Schools (DALS) transformed their approach. 

Instead of wrestling with paper forms and lengthy processes, their clinicians now have: 

  • Portable assessments they can use anywhere 

  • Equal access for all students, regardless of location 

  • Streamlined processes that save precious time  

  • Better engagement through interactive digital formats

The DALS impact goes beyond efficiency

DALS doesn't just speed up assessments—it strengthens communication with families and helps districts control costs. Most importantly, it's helping schools attract and keep the talented specialists students need.

When you give clinicians tools that work with them instead of against them, everyone wins. Students get timely support. Families stay informed. And specialists can focus on what they do best—helping students succeed.
