DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING & ASSESSMENT

Support healthy development with today’s most trusted screeners More of today’s early childhood professionals choose ASQ® over any other developmental and social-emotional screener. Talk to ASQ users, and they’ll tell you why. With ASQ, you can: • SCREEN WITH CONFIDENCE. Accurate, reliable, and valid, ASQ is the most trusted and widely used tool for checking a child’s development. ASQ results help you celebrate a child’s skills and strengths, monitor development, and identify and address any possible delays.

• ENGAGE FAMILIES. Families are the key to a child’s early development and learning—and as a parent-completed tool, ASQ encourages open conversations with parents and caregivers about their child’s development.

ASQ involves parents in the screening process and helps them boost their child’s development with fun learning activities. And ASQ’s many translations help you work effectively with diverse families.

• TEACH AND LEARN ABOUT CHILD DEVELOPMENT. ASQ teaches parents key facts about child development and important milestones (and gives you a refresher, too!). Parents will learn more about how their child is developing and what they can do to encourage their progress and well-being.

• COMMUNICATE WITH PARTNERS. Effective with many different populations, ASQ helps you communicate successfully and work across systems with your colleagues who help children, including pediatricians, home visitors, teachers, and child care professionals.

• JOIN A COMMUNITY OF USERS. When you choose ASQ, you’re joining the family: a vast community of users dedicated to improving outcomes for children and families. You can connect with a whole network of users—from statewide implementations, community-based programs, and individual centers—and share insights on launching a successful screening initiative.

Recommended by top organizations, used in every state and around the world, and trusted by Help Me Grow, Parents as Teachers, Head Start, and states’ QRIS*, ASQ-3 is family-friendly and highly valid and reliable.

Valid and reliable social-emotional screening A strong social-emotional foundation is the key to a child’s health, well-being, and ability to learn in school. But for many children, social-emotional challenges may go unrecognized before they start kindergarten. With ASQ:SE-2, a highly reliable, parent-completed tool with a deep, exclusive focus on social and emotional development, it’s never been easier to check children’s skills, pinpoint potential behaviors of concern, and identify any need for further assessment.

Screen with ASQ:SE-2 at regular intervals to celebrate children’s developing skills and catch social-emotional issues early, so children can receive the interventions they need in their formative first years.

Gentle movement is usually calming for babies. Dancing or rocking in a chair is relaxing for both you and your baby. Listen to soft, soothing music, or sing quietly. Gently sway back and forth, holding your baby close. Whisper in your baby’s ear and let them know how much you love them.

From birth, babies are interested in exploring your face, voice, and body.

27 to 33 Months Your child is learning what they can do and are more confident in their abilities. They are proud of their big kid skills. Your child also wants control.

They want to do things their way and on their timeline. It can be frustrating when your child tells you “no” or wants to do things “by myself.” The trick is to give your child a little control while still being in control yourself. For example, always offer two acceptable choices when requesting something of your child: “Do you want to put on your red shirt or your blue shirt?”

This small choice provides a little bit of control that feels good to your independent toddler.

Getting Ready for Kindergarten Entering kindergarten is a big change for you and your child. It is an exciting time, and it also might be a little scary for you both. You can help by preparing yourself and your child for this big step well ahead of time. Provide opportunities for your child to practice being away from you and being more independent with self-help skills such as eating and dressing. Visit the school and find out what to expect. These steps will increase your child’s confidence and make both of you feel more prepared for this big change!

In The Year Before Kindergarten

“Keep on Trying”

Your baby recognizes your voice. Hearing familiar voices is comforting to your baby. Talk to your baby about everything. For example, while grocery shopping, talk about what you are buying.

“Bananas. Let’s get some bananas.” Your baby also loves to hear your singing voice. YouYour may baby can see your face, smell you, feel your skin, and hear your voice. Your baby can even Talk Time remember some simple songs or lullabies from your childhood. sense how you are feeling. Talk, sing, look at, and smile at your baby. Say your baby’s name.

Watch and wait to see what your baby does. Does your baby look at your face and eyes? Is your baby listening to you? When you move, does your baby try to follow your voice with head movements? Your baby doesn’t like to be far from you.

Find a quiet, comfortable place to feed your baby. Hold your baby close and look into their eyes. While feeding, watch your baby closely and see what helps them calm and focus. Does your baby relax and suck better when you talk or sing to them or when you are quiet? See what At 2toweeks, your baby can see clearly 8 to 10 inches away.

If you can carry your baby, they can feel the warmth of your body and hear your heartbeat, and they will feel safe and secure.

Rock-a-Bye Baby

9 newsletters for parents

Your toddler is taking on more challenges, and these challenges can trigger big feelings. It doesn’t take much for your child to become discouraged and give up on a task that is hard or to say, “You do it.” Encourage and support your child: “Keep on trying. You can do it.” Stay close and, if needed, help your child before they do give up. Let your toddler know you have confidence in their abilities. When your child learns something new, let them know how proud you are.

First Friends Make times when your child can be with other children their age. Your child may enjoy attending music, movement, or dance classes with other children.

If that is not possible, consider trips to the park or dancing together during play dates. Such activities are low-stress for your child, since there is little need to share toys or other belongings.

• Teach your child how to do things independently. This will help your child start to build autonomy— the ability to do things separately from you.

Social-emotional development is your child’s ability to • Experience, express, and manage emotions

Your child is learning to express and control their big feelings. This is a very hard thing to do! If your child is upset, help them calm down before trying to talk to them. Hold them lovingly in your arms and breathe together. “You’re okay sweetie. Mommy’s here.” Talk about and practice calming ideas at times when your child is not upset. Ideas include deep breathing, using words to talk about feelings, taking a break, or switching to a new activity.

• Let your child dress without your help. Teach your child how to open food containers. Teach them all the steps of using the bathroom alone. Your child’s self-confidence will grow as they learn how to do things independently. Be sure to praise your child’s growing independence: “You dressed all by yourself this morning!”

• Encourage your child to practice writing their first name. Teach them their address and telephone number.

• Develop positive relationships with you and others • Explore their environment with curiosity and confidence Social-emotional skills

Calm First, Talk Later

Your baby is never too young to listen to a story or look at pictures in a book. Your baby will feel warm, safe, and calm in your arms. Reading books is an activity you and your baby can do every day as a routine, to help you get close and connect. Your baby listens to the tone of your voice and hears the words you are saying. At this age, your baby focuses best on simple black-andwhite pictures or big, brightly colored pictures.

• Set up times for your child to play with other children—including future classmates, if possible.

Knowing how to play and get along with peers is a big part of kindergarten. Having a few friends in class will help your child feel more comfortable.

What Is Social-Emotional Development?

• Limit television and other screen time to 1 to 2 hours a day. Your child will need to be able to stay calm and focus on real-world activities or a teacher for periods of time.

• Encourage your child to stick with activities for longer periods of time. This helps your child build self-regulation skills—the ability to monitor and control their own behavior.

• Take your child with you out into the world—to the library, grocery store, and other places. This will help your child feel more secure exploring new places.

• Develop through positive and loving interactions with you and others

• Create bedtime and wake-up routines over the summer before kindergarten starts. Help your child prepare for the school schedule.

• Are key to your child’s success in school and in life

• Visit your local school and your child’s classroom. Meet the teacher. Find the bathroom! This will help build your child’s confidence.

Exploring the World Give your toddler opportunities to explore new activities and places. Take your child to a park, the library, or other fun places. New places may be scary for your child at first. Keep your child close and let them watch before joining in activities. Show your child how to greet new people, such as a clerk at a store. It is okay if your child is shy at first. When your child is ready, they will let you know.

For use with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, the SEAM assessment reveals detailed qualitative information on children’s social-emotional competence—and identifies caregivers’ strengths and areas of need.

DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING & ASSESSMENT

When ASQ:SE-2 results say a child needs more, follow up with SEAM™

SEAM IS A TWO-PART ASSESSMENT:

SEAM Tool. SEAM includes three intervals with different developmental ranges: Infant (2–18 months), Toddler (18–36 months), and Preschool (36–66 months). Each interval assesses 10 child benchmarks critical to social-emotional competence, including empathy, adaptive skills, self-image, emotional responses, and healthy interactions with others. The SEAM system also includes SEAM with Ages, an alternate version of the tool annotated with a helpful list of age ranges for each item. This version makes it easy to give caregivers general guidance on how social-emotional skills typically develop and where their child’s development fits on the continuum.

SEAM Family Profile. The Family Profile assesses parent/caregiver strengths and helps identify areas in which they need more supports to foster their child’s social-emotional skills. Like SEAM, the Family Profile assessment includes three intervals—Infant, Toddler, and Preschool. Each interval measures four benchmarks: responding to needs, providing activities and play, providing predictable routines and an appropriate environment, and ensuring home safety.

Add AEPS® Interrater Reliability Certification to your professional development toolbox! Invaluable for states and districts that require teachers to demonstrate reliability on assessments, these online certification modules help you use AEPS accurately to promote real progress for every child.

“An invaluable tool for new users.”

—Phoebe Rinkel, KCCTO-KITS Infant Toddler Specialist Network, Kansas

HOW IT WORKS

AEPS users view a narrated training presentation and watch video examples of real children. While observing children in the videos, users take a practice test and review the correct answers. Then, users complete the certification test, observing and scoring items across every area of the AEPS Test. The online system calculates overall results and results by area immediately—and gives users a chance to review the correct answers and rationale for each score.

Users who score 80% or higher are certified reliable for three years and can print a certificate. Those with scores that fall below 80% can review the first test and take a second test to try for certification. (A user’s access period for the certification module is valid for one year from the date of purchase.)

DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING & ASSESSMENT

PLAY-BASED ASSESSMENT WITH CUSTOMIZED INTERVENTIONS

HOW IT HELPS YOUR PROGRAM

1. Better assessments through the power of play. During a fun and naturalistic play session, professionals assess development in 4 key areas while the child plays with family members and a team play facilitator. Because children stay relaxed and engaged, focusing on what they can do instead of what they can’t, TPBA2 elicits more meaningful and accurate results than many traditional assessment strategies.

2. Positive, playful interventions that improve real-world skills. After the play session results are reviewed, it’s easy to link TPBA2’s assessment data to individualized, play-based intervention activities. TPBI2 shows you how to partner with parents to tailor a unique program of activities that work with their child’s strengths, interests, and learning processes. Interventions fit right into the family’s daily routines.

3. Affordable and convenient staff training. Get the Observing Kassandra DVD for a convenient, cost-effective way to practice skills in a simulated TPBA2 session and boost interrater reliability.

Research Edition

By Kathryn M. Bigelow, Ph.D., Judith J. Carta, Ph.D., Dwight W. Irvin, Ph.D., & Mary Louise Hemmeter, Ph.D. A child’s early teachers and caregivers play a vital role in supporting social-emotional development—and that’s why more and more infant and toddler centers are adopting the Pyramid Model. If your center is one of them, TPITOS™ is the essential tool you need to ensure that infant–toddler teachers are using the Pyramid Model practices with fidelity.

AT A GLANCE DEVELOPERS: Kathryn M. Bigelow, Ph.D., Judith J. Carta, Ph.D., Dwight W. Irvin, Ph.D., & Mary Louise Hemmeter, Ph.D. WHAT IT ASSESSES: How well infant–toddler teachers/child care professionals are implementing key practices consistent with the Pyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children AGE RANGE: Birth to 3 WHERE IT’S CONDUCTED: Centerbased early childhood settings for infants and toddlers TIME TO COMPLETE: 2 hours for the classroom observation; 15–20 minutes for the interview with the teacher TRAINING: Training will be offered through Brookes on Location and is highly recommended.

Modeled after the Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT™) for Preschool Classrooms, TPITOS is for early childhood settings caring for infants and toddlers from birth to 3 years of age. Focusing on teacher practices and classroom environment variables, TPITOS measures how well your staff is fostering responsive, nurturing relationships with children and promoting strong social-emotional development in their earliest years.

HOW IT WORKS

A trained TPITOS administrator conducts a 2-hour classroom observation, followed by an interview with the teacher being observed. The observer assesses three types of items: 1) Observational Items (practices and environmental factors noted during the observation), 2) Interview Items (practices scored based on the teacher’s responses during the interview), and 3) Red Flags (practices that are not consistent with the Pyramid Model). Results of TPITOS show which Pyramid Model practices are being implemented effectively—and what teachers need to focus on to ensure positive social-emotional outcomes for infants and toddlers.

COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

INTRODUCING “[QUILS] is like no other screening for the early childhood population.”

By Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D., Jill de Villiers, Ph.D., Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Ph.D., Aquiles Iglesias, Ph.D., & Mary Sweig Wilson, Ph.D.

E

arly identification is the first step to helping young children with language delays get on track for reading proficiency and school success. But how do you find the children who might need extra support? It’s simple with the Quick Interactive Language Screener™ (QUILS™), a game-like, web-based screener that helps you evaluate the language skills of children ages 3 through 5 years—and make sure their progress is appropriate for their age group.

QUILS stands apart from all other language screeners. That’s because it measures not only language products (what the child already knows) but also language processes (how the child learns new words and grammar structures). QUILS looks at three critical areas:

Vocabulary

Syntax

Process

What words do children already know?

What do children understand about how words go together in sentences?

How good are children at learning new language items?

QUILS BENEFITS • Measures what’s important. QUILS screens key domains of language knowledge that predict a child’s later academic success.

• Fun and engaging for kids. With its interactive items and cute cartoon illustrations, QUILS hooks young children’s attention— and it’s so much fun, kids might even ask if they can do it again!

• Expert-developed, research-based.

QUILS is based on current research on language acquisition, and every item was created and tested by a team of experts in child language development.

• Quick and easy. QUILS takes just 15−20 minutes for kids to complete.

• Accurate results every time. Because QUILS is automated, it’s delivered the same way to all children, and answers are instantly recorded and stored.

• Convenient and time-saving. Automatically generated scores and reports save time for busy teachers.

• No special training required. Children can complete QUILS with just a little supervision from any teacher, paraprofessional, parent, or classroom volunteer.

Set up your QUILS station. Setting up for QUILS is a snap—all you need is a tablet, desktop, or laptop with touchscreen technology and internet access compatible with the QUILS minimal technical requirements. Make sure your QUILS screening station is in a quiet area of the classroom.

Ensure eligibility. Before you screen, make sure the child is a proficient, primary English speaker. (Not sure if the child is proficient in English? Ask the parent to fill out the brief Language Questionnaire included on the QUILS Resources page.) For children from Spanish-speaking households, a QUILS: ES version is currently in development.

LEARN MORE!

Create a student record. Enter the child’s information to get started. You can also assign the child a unique student ID so you can generate reports without the child’s name or export your data with student ID only for identification.

Screen and score automatically. The child completes QUILS with a little supervision from a teacher, paraprofessional, parent, or classroom volunteer. While the child chooses answers from fun illustrations, QUILS does all the work for you—the screener is automatically administered and scored, so you get reliable results every time.

See your reports right away. As soon as screening is done, results are available in clear reports. With a few clicks, you can generate individual Student Reports, Parent Reports to share with families, and Group Reports for multiple students.

Follow up and plan next steps. If the child scores below the QUILS cutoffs, use the recommendation guidance generated with the QUILS reports to plan for next steps, such as referral to an SLP or other expert for follow-up evaluation. Boost children’s language development with the tips and fun activities included with your subscription.

For more resources on supporting dual language learners and working effectively with diverse families, explore our complete list of titles at www.brookespublishing.com. *Statistic retrieved from https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/fact-sheet-supporting-dual-languagelearners-early-learning-settings

Bilingual English–Spanish Assessment™ (BESA™)

By Elizabeth D. Peña, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Vera F. Gutiérrez-Clellen, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Aquiles Iglesias, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Brian A. Goldstein, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, & Lisa M. Bedore, Ph.D., CCC-SLP

How BESA Works Through a combination of subtests for students and surveys for teachers and parents, BESA reveals the big picture of a young bilingual child’s language development. BESA includes: • 3 subtests (in both English and Spanish) that address the key domains of morphosyntax, semantics, and phonology.

When a young bilingual child experiences language difficulties, it can be hard to tell if those challenges are due to a disorder or just limited exposure to the English language. Now there’s a valid, reliable assessment that specifically responds to the needs of young Spanish–English bilingual children. For use with children ages 4 through 6 years who have varying degrees of bilingualism, the Bilingual English–Spanish Assessment (BESA) was developed to: • identify phonological and/or language impairment in bilingual children and English language learners using a standardized protocol • differentiate between a delay in English language acquisition and a true language disorder • document children’s speech and language strengths and needs • monitor children's progress in both languages and use the information to make decisions about intervention

• 2 questionnaires: the Bilingual InputOutput Survey (BIOS) and the Inventory to Assess Language Knowledge (ITALK)

BESA BENEFITS

• Pragmatic activity used to establish rapport with the child and give clinicians an idea of how interactive the child will be during the assessment.

• Culturally and linguistically appropriate

CLOSING THE WORD GAP In the landmark Brookes book Meaningful Differences in the Everyday Experience of Young American Children, Betty Hart & Todd Risley shared their extensive study of parent–child spoken interactions in 42 families.

When they analyzed 30,000 pages of transcripts, their discovery was stark: some children heard 30 million fewer words by their fourth birthdays than others. This word gap has prompted follow-up studies, major projects like the Thirty Million Words® Initiative, and practical Brookes books focused on closing the gap. Books like Talk to Me, Baby! (see below) encourage the kind of rich, playful talk that enhances young children’s language development, and the early reading and literacy resources starting on page 41 expand language enrichment and get all young children ready for greater academic success.

Assessment of Story COMIN G SOON Comprehension (ASC™)

By Trina D. Spencer, Ph.D, BCBA-D, & Howard Goldstein, Ph.D., CCC-SLP Listening comprehension during shared storybook reading is a foundational skill—without it, children are more likely to experience long-term struggles with literacy and later school achievement. With the Assessment of Story Comprehension (ASC™), pre-K programs finally have a fast, easy way to measure the story comprehension of children ages 3–5, identify children who may need language intervention, and monitor the progress of children receiving intervention.

Components • ASC record forms—six brief tests, each with a teacher script, story, and eight literal and inferential comprehension questions

READING READINESS AND LITERACY

MEASURE LISTENING COMPREHENSION SKILLS IN MINUTES

The ASC is a quick check that takes just 3 minutes. First, the teacher reads the brief story on the ASC form to the child. Using the script to ensure accuracy, the teacher then asks the child eight literal and inferential questions, including one vocabulary question. After the teacher records the responses, they score the form in minutes, share results, and plan interventions if needed. The ASC includes six forms, each with a different story, so that the assessment can be administered every 4–6 weeks to children who receive intervention.

• A manual that introduces the tool and its components and provides detailed guidelines on how to administer the ASC, score responses, and use results

ASC BENEFITS

• Downloadable materials, including basic and extended scoring guides, fidelity checklists, and two practice sets of materials to train examiners

3 Measures socially and academically important outcomes

“Holds huge potential for guiding program improvement.”

—Susan Sandall, Ph.D., University of Washington

How well is your early childhood program implementing quality inclusive practices? Now there’s a comprehensive, field-tested observational tool that uncovers the answers. A one-of-a-kind tool for classrooms serving children ages 2–5, the Inclusive Classroom Profile (ICP™) assesses 12 key practices with the strongest research base for supporting the education and development of young children in inclusive programs:

AT A GLANCE DEVELOPER: Elena P. Soukakou, Ph.D. AREAS ASSESSED: The quality of 12 daily classroom practices that support the developmental needs of young children with disabilities AGE RANGE: Ages 2–5 SETTNGS: Various inclusive early childhood programs, including child care, public preschool, private programs, and Head Start classrooms WHO CONDUCTS IT: Early childhood special educators, professional development providers, and program administrators TIME TO ASSESS: About 3½ hours, plus 20 minutes to score

HOW IT WORKS

For accurate results, the ICP is conducted by a trained outside observer, such as a technical assistance professional or administrator. The observer conducts the three parts of the ICP: a classroom observation scheduled during everyday routines; a face-to-face interview with the teacher; and a documentation review of the program’s policies, screeners and assessments, and child intervention plans. Comprehensive assessment with the ICP takes about 3½ hours, plus 20 minutes to score.

BENEFITS

The in-depth ICP evaluation process gives you the rich information and insights you need to: • assess your program’s current inclusive practices • establish a baseline for measuring future progress • apply recommended inclusive practices for young children • guide quality improvement efforts by linking assessment data with instructional decision-making • tailor professional development to teachers’ specific needs The ICP is also a perfect companion to popular early childhood inclusion guides like Building Blocks for Teaching Preschoolers with Special Needs (page 48). Determine your strengths and needs with the ICP, and then find effective inclusion strategies in Building Blocks.

Each kit includes the forms observers need to conduct the complete ICP assessment, in a convenient pack of 5.
