                       Research on idiographic measurement of dynamic assessment intervention. The purpose of which is to ground assessment and intervention for those not flourishing within the education system in a sound theoretical framework. This method is particularly suited to targeted intervention for marginalised groups and individuals in a psycho-educational context.This non-diagnostic approach focuses on the maximisation of the learning potential of the individual in a holistic, person-centered mannner while preserving scientific rigour in the measurement of change of the individual.
