Recognizing the sensory processing and motor needs of individuals with autism is vital for participation and success. Challenges in these areas may underlie or exacerbate many social, behavioral, and learning difficulties. This webinar will highlight sensory and motor assessments and strategies available to health and educational professionals to support this population, including understanding contextual implications, identifying strengths, and providing individuals and families with the knowledge to understand and advocate for their needs.
 

Discover the power of using aimswebPlus reading benchmark and progress monitoring results alongside a true dyslexia screening tool—the Shaywitz DyslexiaScreen. Integrated within the aimswebPlus system, teachers have two evidence-based measures for supporting students at all reading levels. In this video, viewers will learn about the administration, scoring, and reporting of the Shaywitz DyslexiaScreen on aimswebPlus, featuring the Aggregate Risk Report.

To support your growing need for training in the area of remote service delivery, we invite you to join us as we host a second panel of Speech-Language Pathologist experts engaged in telepractice every day.

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.
 

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.
