Detect even subtle developmental deficits that can lead to learning difficulties.
With nine new stand-alone tests, comprehensively assess the key components of executive functions believed to be mediated primarily by the frontal lobe.
Identify infants and young children who may benefit from early intervention. Identify children from birth through 5 years who may have possible delays in cognition, communication, social-emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. Administer each of the five subtests separately or as a comprehensive battery in 10 to 20 minutes. Each of the five domains measured reflects an area mandated for assessment and intervention in IDEA for young children. Tailor the assessment to clients' needs by assessing any combination of the five domains. The test's format ables you to obtain information about a child's abilities through observation, caregiver interviews, and direct assessment. Obtain standard scores, percentile scores, and age equivalents.
Your early childhood screener — in both English and Spanish! Suggested for: Early childhood specialists, preschool and kindergarten teachers, Head Start programs, and child development centers. Standardization: 1,560 English-speaking and 605 Spanish-speaking children throughout the U.S.
Revised with updated theories of visual perceptual development. This revision of Marianne Frostig's Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP) is appropriate for ages 4 through 9 years and measures both visual perception and visual-motor integration skills. The eight subtests—Eye-Hand Coordination, Copying, Spatial Relations, Position in Space, Figure-Ground, Visual Closure, Visual-Motor Speed, and Form Constancy—are based on updated theories of visual perceptual development and can be administered in 30 minutes to an hour. The DTVP–2 yields scores that are reliable at the. 8 or. 9 levels for all age groups. It has been shown to be unbiased in regard to race, gender, and handedness with 1,972 children tested from 12 different states.
Use this fast and versatile tool for identifying behaviors that may indicate severe emotional disturbances in children and adolescents. The Devereux Behavior Rating Scale—School Form is based on federal criteria and can be used by educators, psychologists, guidance counselors, and other assessment professionals. Use this instrument to: , Evaluate the existence of behaviors indicating severe emotional disturbance , Provide normative comparisons of behaviors , Compare results across informants (e. g. , teachers, parents) , Assess an individual in a variety of settings , Provide information for treatment planning , Evaluate treatment effectiveness as a pre/post measure.
Indicate whether a child or adolescent is experiencing, or is at risk, for an emotional or behavioral disorder. The Devereux Scales of Mental Disorders (DSMD™) are especially designed for treatment planning and outcome evaluation. The 111-item child form and the 110-item adolescent form cover a full range of psychopathology and are based on DSM-IV categories. Versatile AssessmentThe DSMD helps professionals evaluate behavior in a variety of settings, compare results to a large national sample, and analyze information for treatment planning and evaluation of treatment effectiveness. Any adult who has known the child for four weeks may serve as a rater. The same form is used for parent and teacher raters, with separate norms provided for each.
DEAP—Now you can assess articulation and phonology using ONE test
The Diagnostic Evaluation of Language Variation™—Screening Test is an individually administered screening test to distinguish variations due to normal developmental language changes or to regional and cultural patterns of language difference from true markers of language disorder or delay.
Neutralize the effects of language variations to accurately diagnose speech and language disorders.
Get more in-depth information with a single, child-friendly battery that assesses the multidimensional nature of abilities in children and adolescents. With attractive and colorful materials designed to hold attention, the individually administered Differential Ability Scales® (DAS®) yields overall cognitive ability and achievement scores and provides a reliable measure of specific abilities. DAS comprises 17 cognitive and 3 achievement subtests.
Go beyond scores with an in-depth analysis of strengths and weaknesses, important to effective intervention
The Differential Aptitude Tests®, Fifth Edition (DAT®), provides a valid and reliable assessment tool for course and career selection. It measures students' abilities in verbal reasoning, language usage, numerical reasoning, mechanical reasoning, and space relations. The Counselor's Report, available from combined administration of DAT and the Career Interest Inventory, provides an effective starting point for career discussion with counselors, parents, and students. Level 1 is primarily for students in grades 7 through 9; Level 2 is primarily for students in grades 10 through 12 and adults. Both levels can be used with basic adult education, community college, vocational/technical, and correctional programs.
A broad-based test of long-term memory
Use the task of human figure drawing to reveal intellectual ability. In just 15 minutes, Draw A Person: QSS can be used as a part of a comprehensive assessment, as a screening device, or as a supplement to other intelligence tests. Influences of primary language, verbal skills, fine motor coordination, and time pressure are reduced with these tasks. Draw A Person: QSS offers the most modern, efficient, and objective scoring system available. A training section in the Manual facilitates consistent use of the system. Clear scoring guidelines reflect the many possible ways a child can respond.
Identify emotional or behavioral disorders in just 15 minutes with Draw A Person: SPED. With proven reliability, Draw A Person: SPED is a nonverbal, nonthreatening screening measure for identifying these disorders in children and adolescents. Administer with Draw A Person: QSSInstructions are identical to the Draw A Person: A Quantatitive Scoring System. Drawings—man, woman, and self—may be obtained from a child during one administration using both systems. The scores may be used in assessing both emotional status and cognitive development. Proven ReliabilityThe test is a highly reliable projective technique. Its scoring system shows excellent inter-rater and intrarater reliability, as well as test-retest reliability.
Determine appropriate test accommodations based on empirical evidence using the new Dynamic Assessment of Test Accommodations™ (DATA). For individuals or groups of students with learning disabilities in grades 2 through 7, DATA can help multidisciplinary teams objectively determine appropriate test accommodations in order to meet IDEA reauthorization and ADA legislative requirements. Supplements Teacher Input Research findings indicate that DATA-derived decisions regarding accommodations are better predictors of enhanced student performance on standardized tests than teacher-based decisions alone.
Profile strengths and weaknesses often associated with dyslexia for optimal outcomes
Practical and efficient, this instrument measures a cluster of characteristics associated with dyslexia and discriminates between those who have the cluster and those who do not.
Identify Students at Risk for Reading Failure
Evaluate patients for swallowing problems in just 30 minutes. This kit includes a pocket-sized version of the evaluation in a flip book format for easy bedside administration. The protocol enables you to quickly evaluate the factors that may contribute to swallowing difficulties. It provides guidelines for conducting a feeding trial at bedside, and helps you know when to initiate, continue, or stop a swallowing evaluation. Results of the evaluation can help you determine whether a patient is appropriate for videofluoroscopy, and assist you in defining the variables and factors that need to be evaluated further through videofluoroscopy.
