A comprehensive assessment of a young autistic learner should capture strengths as well as needs, from the case history through the final report. In this course, Janine Benner, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL, ASDCS, reviews approaches to comprehensive, strength-based assessment of preschool and school-age autistic learners in both clinical and school-based settings.
Janine describes how to prepare for assessments and accommodate autistic learners at all levels, and how to adapt case histories, parent interviews, and report writing to reflect neurodiversity and strength-based concepts. You'll learn methods for identifying a student's learning style and a parent's communication style, how checklists, criterion-referenced assessments, observations, and standardized assessments work together in a comprehensive assessment, and how to approach communication and follow-up with parents and caregivers afterward.
