Factors to consider in choice of standardized tool
Cost Time to administer Training required Appropriate for age, dx, setting Valid/Reliable Responsiveness (detect meaningful change)
Methods of collecting information
Interviews
Observation
Conducting performance measures
Measure by age equivalent scores or developmental quotients
Methods of collecting information - measure by age equivalent scores
Age that the child is performing at
