School professionals are on the front line of addressing the current mental health crisis among children and adolescents. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the process of identifying and addressing emotional, behavioural, and mental health concerns through screening, assessments, interventions, and progress monitoring.  

The question of whether true adaptive behavior profiles in persons with autism spectrum disorder exists has been discussed in the literature for decades. This webinar will explore if, and how, adaptive functioning profiles of individuals with ASD differ from typical normative samples.

This webinar will promote the social-emotional and behavioral well-being of the whole child. It will help provide educators with information, data and "best practices" to guide planning decisions.

Common anxiety look-alikes, such as ADHD, sensory processing deficits, and depression, make the determination of an anxiety disorder, and the appropriate relief, more difficult to ascertain. This webinar will discuss best assessment practices to help parse out some of these look-alike conditions.  

Join Dr. Cecil Reynolds and Dr. Randy Kamphaus to understand how to use the BASC-3 Content Scales and Probability Indexes for students' individual behavioral needs. We will also discuss the best time to assess and intervene.

This presentation examines how behavioural screeners and assessments, best practices in classroom management, evidence-based behavioural supports, and social/emotional learning instruction can be coordinated within a program to support children’s social, emotional, and behaviour needs.

Students with Emotional Disturbance due to pervasive emotional, behavioural, and social issues often face a more difficult learning path than other students. Many BASC-3 customers have asked for a scale to aid in identifying students who qualify for added support so they can get the help they need to succeed.

This session will cover:

• The development of the new EDQs composite Controversy around definition of ED (Emotional Disturbance)
• Why it is important to distinguish between ED and SM (Social Maladjustment)
• What sets EDQs apart from other tools
