The Derogatis Psychiatric Rating Scale (DPRS) instrument, formerly known as the Hopkins Psychiatric Rating Scale, is a multidimensional psychiatric rating scale.
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.
Take advantage of up-to-date theory, assessment, and treatment of prehension from birth through childhood and adolescence to adulthood. Three case studies of children with cerebral palsy—spastic, athetoid, and flaccid—demonstrate normal and atypical prehension development. See the importance of their hand skills in home, school, and community environments—10 years later. Plus, find a new foreword by the pediatrician of two of the children.

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.

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.

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.
