<DIV> The <B>AEPS® Test</B> allows professionals to gather assessment data for one child or a group of children in home- or center-based settings. This volume includes the tests for both age levels, which are divided into six developmental areas—fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, adaptive, social-communication, and social. Each area is subdivided into a progression of skills: <UL><LI>strands of general skill areas</LI><LI>goals made up of skills in those areas</LI><LI>objectives made up of smaller skills that build up to the goals</LI></UL><P> View our recorded webinar: presented by Kevin Warg.<P> While children and their caregivers engage in everyday activities, professionals assess each developmental area using the <B>AEPS</B> data recording forms. Each item is scored with a 0 (does not pass), 1 (inconsistent performance), or 2 (passes consistently). To supplement and clarify these scores, professionals choose from 5 qualifying notes and use the blank space provided for more specific comments. With this multipart scoring process—and the input caregivers add with the revised Family Report—the <B>AEPS Test</B> 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.<P> This volume is part of the bestselling <B>AEPS</B> system for children from birth to six years who have disabilities or are at risk for developmental delays.
