About CAI
A team you can trust
CAI was founded by Drs. Flanagan, Ortiz, and Alfonso whose extensive research has led to groundbreaking work in the areas of assessment, evaluation, and intervention, including culturally and linguistically diverse learners. The individual and collective work of Drs. Flanagan, Ortiz, and Alfonso have resulted in hundreds of articles, book chapters, books, local, regional, and national presentations. They have now created a web presence to provide practitioners with a place to access their work, request training, seek consultation services, provide useful resources, and so much more!
The team developed the Cross-Battery Assessment approach and corresponding software system (X-BASS), the Intervention Library and the Ortiz PVAT.

Hear what conference attendees have to say
This conference stretched me further than I thought was possible. There were so many session options to choose from which made it difficult to choose. I learned a great deal from this conference. Whether a veteran or novice, you won't be disappointed.
The CAI conference was fantastic in a virtual format with no travel costs. All presentations were recorded for convenience, two days of exceptional speakers in one place, and affordable registration. Looking forward to attending again.
The CAI psych group hosted a series of interconnected presentations led by knowledgeable presenters. They efficiently shared a wealth of information and answered questions. Additional sessions were recorded offering valuable learning opportunities.
