Class one: General overview Flashcards
Step one of your evaluation is to ______
Complete an occupational profile
The _____ is the foundation of the evaluation process
Occupational profile
Describe Level One screening:
Basic screening of developmental skills
Describe Level Two screening:
A health care professional or teacher identifies that
the child is at risk for developmental delays/functional
limitations.
________ assessments may have limited value
Norm-Referenced
Norm-referenced assessments do not necessarily measure what is critical for
functional
performance in children with disabilities (i.e. Peabody- stacking 1-
inch blocks)
_____ scores do not provide a complete picture of a child
Standard
Do not _____ based on information from norm referenced tests! Instead, use _____
write intervention goals
Functional outcome measures
Criterion-Referenced Tests
Measures what the test taker is ______
able to do and what they know, not how they compare to others- important to a child’s function
on everyday tasks
CRTs report how well students are doing relative to a ______
pre- determined performance level on a specified set of educational goals or outcomes included in the school, district, or state
curriculum
Criterion referenced tests are helpful for what two things?
the evaluation of the child’s functional skills and for
planning interventions
Criterion referenced tests administration and scoring may or may not be
standardized
Describe ecological assessments
Examining and recording the physical, social and
psychological features of the developmental context of a child
Transactional Approach is concerned with the
interaction between the child and the environment – physical and social
Which type of assessment uses a transdisciplinary approach that allows the child and
caregiver to interact with a professional during the
evaluation while other professionals observe and
occasionally test/interview?
Arena assessment
Arena assessments place a big emphasis on a ____ approach
Team
Standardized tests are used to?
- Assist in the determination of a medical or educational
diagnosis - Document a child’s developmental and functional status
- Aid the planning of an intervention program
- Measure variables in research studies
Descriptive Statistics provide information about?
the characteristics of a particular
group
Two types of descriptive statistics are:
Measure of central tendency
Measure or variability
A z-score is a measure of?
how many
standard deviations below or above the
population mean a raw score
T-Scores Tell?
how far the score is from the mean.
Deviation Intelligence Quotient - Uses statistics to
analyze intelligence relative to age. Deviation IQ is scored based on how an individual deviates from the average IQ of 100.
_____ describes the stability of scores of one individual when tested on two different occasions with different sets of items or under other variable conditions
Reliability
Generally, test manuals report the ___ confidence interval.
95%
The _____ is the statistic to calculate the expected range of error for the test
score of an individual
Standard error of measurment
The SEM is added to and subtracted from the child’s main score. This gives the range of expected scores for that child, AKA the ______
the confidence interval.
The validity reported in text measures is obtained during the
test development process.
______ - a statistical procedure for determining
relationships between test items. (shows the items with the
strongest correlation)
Factor Analysis-
_______- the extent to which the items on a
test accurately sample a particular behavior domain (visual
perception)
Content-Related Validity
Content-Related Validity is established by?
review of the test content by experts in the field, who reach some agreement that the content is representative of the behavioral domain to be measured.
______ - the ability of a test to predict how
an individual performs on other measurements or activities
Criterion-Related Validity
Two types of criterion-related validity
Concurrent validity, predictive validity
______- describes how well test scores reflect current performance (0.7 is predictive)
Concurrent validity
_____ - the relationship between a test given in the present and some measure of the performance in the future (typically takes several years to measure)
Predictive validity
