Curriculum-Based Skills Assessment

To gather information about the child’s developmental level and repertoire of existing skills, we rely on evidence-based criterion-referenced assessment tools such as, the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) and Essentials for Living (EFL) which are designed to provide a representative sample of a child’s existing skills.

An assessment using the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills - Revised (ABLLS-R), the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), and the Revised Brigance Inventory of Early Development may also be completed to gain additional information. Assessment domains may differ as a result of an individual’s age, developmental level, diagnosis, and areas of need. The domains may include, but are not limited to the following: cognition/developmental levels, social/emotional skills, sensory regulation, motor skills, communication skills, play/leisure-time activities, pre-academic/academic skills, prevocational/vocational skills, self-help, safety skills, and community-based skills. The assessment contains an individualized program curriculum for each client that is comprehensive in scope, appropriate to the age and the needs of the client, and reflects continuity with the baseline evaluation. We conclude the assessment with comprehensive written report within one-three months of the assessment date.
