Autism is a developmental disability that significantly affects verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction. Some of the symptoms of autism may be characteristics of other developmental disabilities, so a comprehensive developmental evaluation is needed to differentiate ASD from other developmental disabilities.
At this session, presenters will provide information that will enable participants to describe the differences between CELF Preschool-3 and PLS-5 and explain how clinicians can select the test that provides useful information about a child’s language skills. Using case studies, the presenter will describe differences in the type of data provided on each test and explain how differences in the format and content of the tests can contribute to score differences.
This webinar discusses these changes and examines how the SSIS SEL program meets these expanded standards to assess SEL fairly and provide interventions that promote social equity.
In this webinar, twelve years of research into differences in Wechsler FSIQ scores between Whites, African Americans, and Hispanics are summarized for WISC-V, WAIS-IV, and WISC-IV both before and after controlling for socioeconomic status. The data presented will show that SES accounts for more of the difference with children than adults, and Hispanics than African Americans
Meeting the sensory processing and motor needs of individuals in educational settings is vital for participation and success. Challenges in these areas may underlie or exacerbate many social, behavioral and learning difficulties faced by students.
In Part 2 of this webinar series, Dr. Delis will provide guidelines for making clinical interpretations of the findings of the D-REF Adult. Dr. Delis will also discuss the use of an optional feature of the D-REF Adult Score Report that provides a list of specific recommendations for interventions for EF problems targeted to each examinee’s profile of EF strengths and weaknesses. A case example will be provided to illustrate the different interpretive guidelines.
The presenters will discuss interpreting Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Preschool-3 results in the context of a comprehensive language assessment. Topics will include evaluating test scores as one part of the body of evidence for diagnostic decisions, interpreting score differences, and using assessment results to make recommendations for next steps for the child, family, and teacher.
Dr. Delis will explain the primary objectives and features of the D-REF Adult, including the development of an EF rating scale that takes about half the time of existing EF rating scales while still providing both validity scales and clinical scales that assess the major areas of executive function and dysfunction in adults.
One of the diagnostic areas that characterize Autism Spectrum Disorder is impaired communication. The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition can be used to evaluate the early communication skills of children age 16 days to 42 months. The presenters will describe the Bayley-4's flexible administration process which includes series items, related items, caregiver questions, and digital administration.
