Monitor Early Developmental Skills

Overview

Finding Can Dos and Next Steps

Criterion-referenced assessments measure an individual's performance on a specified set of skills over time. Educators use our criterion-referenced assessments to monitor incremental progress by comparing a child’s present and past performance levels. This inventory is versatile and flexible and can be administered to students of any chronological age when monitoring early developmental skills for early childhood, general education, and special education. Use it to:

  • Determine present level
  • Monitor after screening for preschool and kindergarten
  • Guide and recommend next steps for instructional objectives and IEPs
  • Measure progress and celebrate incremental growth for older learners with developmental delays
  • Support alternate assessment needs to address learner variability
  • Program Type:Assessment
  • Subject:Literacy, Mathematics
  • Language:English
