The ABCs of Developmental Assessments
Zoom Only

      


As we transition from the eligibility condition of Noncategorial Early Childhood (NCEC) to Developmental Delay (DD) in the state of Texas due to revisions in our Texas Administrative Code, understanding the process for conducting evaluations of young children will be crucial. Evaluating young children as they transition into the school setting can present unique challenges for evaluation personnel. This presentation will review different assessments that can be utilized in a holistic evaluation of young children. Participants will define differences between norm referenced assessments and criterion referenced assessments. During this workshop, learners will recognize different stages of developmental milestones to enhance the interpretation of evaluation results.  Participants will learn how to provide a detailed account of a child’s developmental strengths and weaknesses to make individualized, student specific recommendations and interventions for school-based teams.
