This practical format assists with IEP planning and parent communication. The broad continuum of skills and behaviors is grouped into 56 Strands (goal areas). Each Strand contains up to 50 behaviors that extend to socially-acceptable adult skills and behaviors. Over 2,300 skills and thousands of instructional activities are ideally suited to children and adults who are functioning between the developmental ages of 1 to 14 yearsin the integrated classroom, the resource room, and the selfcontained program. - Assessment Record - Instructional Activities

Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS)


Eric Schopler PhD, Robert J Reichler MD, Barbara Rochen Renner, PhD This 15 item behaviour rating scale helps to identify children with autism and to distinguish them from developmentally handicapped children who are not autistic. In addition, it distinguishes mild-to-moderate from severe autism. Brief, convenient, and suitable for use with any child over 2 years of age, the scale makes it much easier for clinicians and educators to recognise and classify autistic children. Kit includes 25 rating scales and a manual. The CARS appears to be the best instrument available for initial classification of children suspected of having the autistic syndrome. Barry M. Prizanr, Eleventh Mental Measurements Yearbook.

Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning: (WRAML) 1990 Wayne Adams PhD and David Sheslow PhD
This assessment is a carefully standardised psychometric instrument which allows the user to evaluate a childs ability to actively learn and memorise a variety of information. Quantitative results with quantitative observations contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of cognitive abilities than has previously been possible. The test is normed for ages 5-17 and takes about 45 mins - a short memory screen (15 mins) can be given to assess memory function.

HSC-1B-4 Practice Tape on Using the CARS


Eric Schopler, Ph.D. This video tape provides substantial practice in using the CARS. It is an edited version of a testing session with an 8-yearold boy. A rich variety of behaviour - representing all 15 areas measured by the CARS - is demonstrated. After viewing this tape, one should be able to recognise 14 autistic behaviours, evaluate severity of these behaviours, and complete a CARS score sheet. Comes with a 21 page study guide.

sensorimotor skills related to the childs handling of the writing tool and paper. Classroom observations focusing on the childs psycho-social skills, attending abilities and behaviour in the school setting are also targeted. The ETCH can be administered in 15 to 25 minutes and scored in 10 to 20 minutes with established scoring procedures and criteria for legibility. Interrator reliability has also been established. ETCH scoring competence is attained through tutorials and competency quizzes in the Examiners Manual. Both the ETCH-Manuscript and the ETCH Cursive are in the test kit. Testing materials include wall charts for far-point copying, task sheets for near-point copying, a peephole score card for isolating letters and words and quick reference sheets highlighting administration and scoring procedures. Also included are reproducible ETCH response booklets and score sheets and a spiral bound Examiners Manual.

The PEDI is a new assessment which has been specifically designed to assess key functional abilities in children with medical or developmental delays. It is well suited to children with physical disabilities, as it provides a caregiver assistance scale to determine level of independence in the childs typical daily activities. It includes a parent interview. The scale has excellent psychometric properties, except that norms are based on a sample from the northeast US only. It is unlikely that geographic region would have much impact on the type of developmental abilities assessed by the PEDI.

Problems Amundson (OT) Alaska 1995 The ETCH is designed to evaluate the manuscript and cursive handwriting skills of children in grades one to six who are experiencing difficulty with written communication. The primary focus is to assess a childs legibility and speed in writing tasks which are similar to those required in the classroom. ETCH tasks include writing the alphabet and numerals from memory, near-point copying, far-point copying, dictation and sentence composition. Each writing task is scored individually and then compiled with the others for a total score. Scores include speed measured in letters per minute and percentages of numeral, letter and word legibility. The ETCH also examines legibility components, such as letter formation, spacing, size and alignment, as well as a variety of 3

The MVPT-R is a test of visual perception which avoids any motor involvement. Unlike most of the tests and scales purported to measure visual perception (receptive process) that require complicated graphic responses (expressive process) such as drawing circles, squares, straight lines etc, the MVPT-R measures visual perception without the use of graphic responses. The test is designed for screening, diagnostic and research purposes where a quick measure of overall visual perceptual processing ability is required. The revision of the 1972 edition includes updated norms with an increased upper age. Some more difficult items have been added to accommodate those working with adult populations and older children. Test includes 25 test sheets. Test sheets

The Sensorimotor Motor Performance Analysis: 1989, Eileen W. Richter and Patricia C. Montgomery. Ages 5adult Test forms and profiles, package of 25 (sold separately). This criterion-referenced assessments is designed to provide a qualitative record of individual performance on gross and fine motor tasks. It is designed for ambulatory/mobile developmentally disabled clients aged five to adult. The SPA consists of four gross motor tasks and three fine motor tasks that are broken down by performance components. The score sheet provides a breakdown of each task into the performance components necessary to complete the task, enabling the therapist to grade the qualitative aspects of a response. This system allows for consistent, objective recording of the quality of the clients performance to be used for comparison following treatment. Although developed specifically for cognitively handicapped school aged children, the SPA has been found useful for clients in other age groups and with a variety of sensorimotor problems including dysfunction in postural control and movement patterns. The manual contains chapters describing the use and interpretation of the SPA assessment; case examples of treatment plans based on the SPA; criteria for scoring; and extensive background reference listings.

Standardised, norm-based assessment administered with parent(s), facilitating adult (team member) and another student or students in a natural setting. Videotaping of assessment phase is encouraged.

Sensory Integration Inventory For Individuals with Developmental Disabilities: Users Guide and Forms.
Judith E Reisman and Bonnie Hanschu Test forms, package of 20 (sold separately). This preliminary assessment is designed for occupational therapy personnel who serve people with severe and profound mental retardation. It is designed to screen for clients who might benefit from a sensory integration treatment approach. The inventory is divided into four sections associated with sensory integrative processing; tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, and general reactions. Each item is stated as an observable behaviour. The guide gives a rationale for the inclusion of each item in the inventory as an indicator of sensory integrative dysfunction. It also provides an alternative, sensory explanation for behaviours that are often presumed to be primarily psychosocial in origin. The users guide has also been recommended as a learning aid for occupational therapy students because it provides down-to-earth examples that help explain many sensory integration concepts.

care, play and school activities. Its widely believed that grasp and release are the primary elements of fine motor skills, as indicated in popular literature. Recent studies show that the development of hand skills encompasses more than the refinement of grasp and release. Development of Hand Skills in the Child goes beyond the traditional theory for developing fine motor skills and offers a fresh perspective on refining the complex processes of manipulation and handling of objects and tools. This text not only explains the therapeutic approaches and strategies that enhance the development of hand skills and the childs ability to play, manipulate and skilfully use tools, it also focuses on the complexity of hand skill development and examines occupational therapy approaches for improving these skills. Includes chapters on handwriting evaluation, developing scissor skills, eye-hand coordination and neurodevelopment treatment. Contents also include: Central nervous system control over precision movements of the hand Eye-hand coordination In-hand manipulation skills Therapeutic fine-motor activities for preschoolers Neurodevelopmental treatment for the young child with cerebral palsy Upper extremity casting: adjunct treatment for the child with cerebral palsy

What is theTalking Pen? It is an electronic pen with a small beam of infra-red light in its tip. When the pen is on a light coloured surface, a fiber-optic sensor picks up the reflected light, triggering a buzzer to let the user know hes on the right track. Because the user gets immediate feedback, the pen is useful for developing a wide range of sensory-motor tasks - even without direct supervision.

The Concentration Cockpit: Explaining Attention Deficits to Children The Concentration Cockpit is a brightly printed, laminated poster that helps teach children with attention deficits to gain insight into their problems and monitor their progress in grappling with these problems. The poster consists of a series of diagrams of meters with missing pointers. As the function of each meter is reviewed, the child assesses his own ability to control 14 areas of behaviour, drawing the missing pointer at the appropriate level. An Examiners Guide explains how to administer The Concentration Cockpit, and the new Explanatory Test and Record Form provide the complete script as well as space for recording the students responses in one convenient booklet. Educators and health-care professionals will find The Concentration Cockpit useful in the management of children with attention deficits. It helps children gain insight into their problems and helps the examiner clarify the various traits associated with attention deficits for parents, teachers and clinicians.

Developmental Variation and Learning Disorders:

This 11 x 17 chart lists eight neurodevelopmental functions (selective attention and intention, memory, simultaneous/ sequential arrangement, language, higher-order cognition, neuromotor function, and social cognition) and their performance elements (core elements, organisational/strategic elements, fluency/volume, control elements, meta-awareness elements, major transfunctional elements, and stylistic elements). On its reverse side is a chart, Developmental Expectations and Demands over Time: Some Evolving SchoolRelated Phenomena, which lists expectations and demands from preschool through upper grades.

All Kinds of Minds: Dr M Levine

Dr M. Levine Clinicians, educators and interested parents will find this book a valuable guide for understanding children who are having difficulty learning. Whenever teaching and medical terminology are used, they are defined carefully, making this professional text very readable. Educators will discover how developmental functions affect learning and clinicians will have the opportunity to examine academic skills as they are affected by development. Anyone involved in assessing children and in managing their problems will find the wealth of information invaluable. Dyslexia and Other Learning Disabilities: Selikowtz 1995 Educational Care: Dr M Levine A system for understanding and helping children with learning problems at home and in school. Fitzroy Readers: Phonics, word skills, work sheets (prep to grade 6). A set of 10, workbooks Keeping Ahead in School: Dr M Levine - Book Cassette Learning Disabilities: Capute

A young students book about learning abilities and learning disorders.The book was written to help children in the elementary grades understand how they learn, how weaknesses make learning difficult, and how their strengths can be used to improve their learning skills. As the title indicates, minds vary, no-one is perfect - and everyone needs to learn to appreciate all kinds of minds. This book is mainly a fictitious account of five appealing and realistic children. Each of them has one or more learning disorders: attention deficit, a reading disorder, memory problems, a language disorder, social skills problems or motor skills problems.Young readers will easily identify with the experiences of the characters as they appear in a variety of situations: humorous, serious, suspenseful, and sometimes sad. Overall, the books tone is distinctly upbeat. During the first seven chapters fictional anecdotes, each of the main characters comes to understand his or her minds strengths and weaknesses. All the children learn about getting help from others, helping themselves, and building on their strengths.The eighth and final chapter, which is non-fiction, reviews important concepts and facts that appear in the preceding chapters. It also offers young readers suggestions for overcoming the effects of learning disorders. To facilitate the use of this book, two kinds of materials are available: cassette tapes of the text read verbatim by the author, and a booklet of guidelines to assist adults in helping children understand the personal relevance of All Kinds of Minds. - Audiotape - Book

Learn to play
Researched and prepared by paediatric occupational therapist Karen Stagnitti, Learn to Play is a practical program designed to develop a childs imaginative play skills, which are so important to the development of language, social and cognitive (thinking) skills. Occupational therapists, speech pathologists, special education teachers, preschool fieldwork officers and early childhood workers can use Learn to Play. The book is a valuable resource of reproducible play activities for parents, carers and teachers of young children from birth to six years with developmental delays, autistic spectrum disorders and language disorders. Learn to play would also be useful for those working with children with visual impairment. Karen Stagnitti has worked in many areas of occupational therapy, and has a special interest in play development after reading extensively about childrens imagination.

Normal Visual Development:

Two programs on one video cassette: 1. Components of visual motor function in a normal young adult: 10 mins. This new video presents the eye movement patterns of a normal young adult following the format of the EDVA-S (Erhardt Developmental Vision Assessment short screening form). It is correlated with the videos Normal Visual Development and the administration of the EDVA which present the six-month developmental level as a significant milestone of maturity when primitive visual reflexes are integrated and voluntary eye movements are essentially as functional as in the adult. 2. A typical visual motor function in persons with developmental disabilities: 25 mins. This new video presents examples of 12 children and adults with cerebral palsy, multiple handicaps and the developmental disabilities evaluated with the EDVA. The eye movement patterns, which show missing components below the mature six month level, are related to their physical, medical and optical diagnoses.

Sensory Defensiveness: Patricia Wilbarger 1990 60 mins

Meet John, Joan and Dustin. They all have sensory defensiveness. They may view touch as an anxiety producing attack, or unexpected contact as danger. Or they may have the opposite reaction of craving pressure on their skin or only feel OK after heavy exertion. They may have many sensory eccentricities like always removing labels from their clothes, over responding to sound, smell or movement. These are typical patterns studied in sensory defensive individuals at all ages and developmental stages. In this video, Patricia Wilbarger an occupational therapist and consultant, aquaints the viewer with the diagnosis sensory defensiveness. Through actual cases she explores the scope of the problem, its impact on the individual and family, the significance of identification of sensory defensiveness, and proposes three intervention approaches. This tape is designed for professional and general audiences.

Sensory Integration Therapy:

Toronto Sensory Integration Study Group. This 20 minute videotape makes an invaluable training tool for sensory integration therapy. Use it to train therapists, students, teachers or to educate parents. The program discusses the process of SI and shows characteristics and behaviours of one to five year old children with SI disorders. This complete description also covers the role of therapy in remediating SI dysfunction, including the role of the occupational therapist. It gives an overview of the three basic sensory systems tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive and how these systems interact. Target areas for therapy are also outlined and it demonstrates how controlled sensory input emphasises the three sensory systems and enhances body integration and motor planning. A balance of therapeutic activities provides the sensorimotor foundation for learning.

Spot Groups: 1990


This program depicts the activities and benefits of a combined therapy session for children with speech and motor difficulties. It highlights some of the problems these children have and the specific interventions that are possible in the group sessions. Consultants: Michele Cochrane OT, Christina Richards and Carol Taylor, Speech Pathologists, Womens and Childrens Hospital Adelaide. Target audience: Students of occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathologists and nursing.
