Brookes Publishing is pleased to announce the development of AEPSinteractive™ (AEPSi™), an online version of its bestselling Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System for Infants and Children (AEPS®). Brookes will unveil the new product at the 22nd Annual International Division for Early Childhood (DEC) conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, October 19-21, 2006.

Paul H. Brookes, President of Brookes Publishing states, “We are very excited to be taking the next step with our successful AEPS product line. Our customers’ increasing demand for electronic reporting makes this the perfect time to launch an online version of AEPS, particularly with the new OSEP Reporting [Office of Special Education] requirements.”

According to Eva Horn, Professor of Special Education at the University of Kansas, the AEPS assessment system has long been considered necessary, “for every educator of infants and young children who longs for simple, straightforward and functional strategies.” The introduction of AEPSi enhances the reliable and highly successful AEPS product line by making assessment and evaluation even more straightforward and functional.

With AEPSi, professionals focus on children, not paperwork.  The powerful scoring and reporting functions of this secure web-based assessment and evaluation tool make it much easier for early childhood professionals to generate OSEP Child Outcomes and other critical reports. AEPSi also encourages family involvement and facilitates team collaboration by creating a central, accessible place for each child’s information.
