AEPS Test Birth to Three Years and Three to Six Years

Aeps(TM) Test: Birth to Three Years and Three to Six Years. The Test allows professionals to gather assessment data for one child or a group of children in home- or center-based settings. Now combined into a single volume, the tests for both age levels are divided into six developmental areas, each subdivided into a progression of skills: strands of general skill areas, goals made up of skills in those areas, and objectives made up of smaller skills that build up to the goals. Professionals assess each area while children and their caregivers engage in everyday activities. With the data recording forms, professionals score each item with a 0 (does not pass), 1 (inconsistent performance), or 2 (passes consistently). To supplement these scores, professionals choose from five qualifying notes and use the blank space provided for more specific comments. This multi-part scoring process lets professionals pinpoint what children can do, identify areas that need attention, and use that information as a starting point to develop individualized IFSP/IEP goals and objectives. Caregivers add their own input with the Family Report.
