Praise for the first edition of AEPS® (Birth to Three Years):

“Well-conceived and timely...a comprehensive system of assessment, intervention, and on-going monitoring and evaluation.” —Journal of The Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps

Praise for the first edition of AEPS® (Three to Six Years):

“A well-designed test and programming tool that avoids pitfalls of standardized, norm-referenced tests.” —Ruth Humphry, Ph.D., OTR, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The AEPS® Test allows professionals to gather assessment data for one child or a group of children in home- or center-based settings. The tests for both age levels are divided into six developmental areas — fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, adaptive, social-communication, and social. Each area is subdivided into a progression of skills:

strands of general skill areas
goals made up of skills in those areas
objectives made up of smaller skills that build up to the goals

While children and their caregivers engage in everyday activities, professionals assess each developmental area using the AEPS® data recording forms. Each item is scored with a 0 (does not pass), 1 (inconsistent performance), or 2 (passes consistently). To supplement and clarify these scores, professionals choose from 5 qualifying notes and use the blank space provided for more specific comments. With this multipart scoring process — and the input caregivers add with the revised Family Report — the AEPS® Test lets professionals pinpoint what children can do, identify areas that need attention, and use that information as a starting point to develop individualized IFSP/IEP goals and objectives.
