Week Four

This week we read and discussed the Ages and Stages Assessment. I have never heard of this assessment, so this information was new to me, and it's obviously important to the age range we're working with in this class because it breaks down the tests into what is developmentally appropriate for the specific age we're testing. I also liked that we discussed using different age ranges of the test, because we never know if a child is developmentally delayed, right on track, or advanced, so we should be prepared to give forms of the test at each level that may be appropriate for the child we're working with. Something else I thought was useful was the age equation. While this is something I had learned previously, it was a good refresher since I will need to be calculating children's exact ages to the day of intervention.
