Pearson Assessments

Pearson Clinical Assessments delivers the gold-standard tools educators and specialists rely on to identify and support students' cognitive, academic, behavioral, and developmental needs. To help states and districts expand access to these trusted evaluations while maximizing resources, Pearson offers the Digital Assessment Library for Schools (DALS), a comprehensive annual site license designed for system-wide impact.

DALS provides multi-disciplinary teams with unlimited access to more than 40 of Pearson's most widely used educational and psychological assessments through a predictable, fixed-cost model. Delivered seamlessly through digital platforms such as Q-interactive® and Q-global® , DALS reduces administrative burden, eliminates the need for physical testing kits, and helps evaluators complete high-quality assessments more efficiently.

For state education agencies and school systems, DALS offers benefits that extend beyond assessment administration. The subscription model supports budget predictability, expands equitable access to evidence-based evaluations across districts, and helps address clinician shortages by enabling teams to serve more students with existing staff. Standardized access to leading assessments also promotes greater consistency in evaluation practices, strengthens compliance efforts, and supports data-informed decision-making at the local and state level.

With DALS, states can empower districts to deliver timely evaluations, improve service delivery, and ensure every student has access to the high-quality assessment tools needed to support educational success.
