AEPSi

Each year we add new resources to our toolbox. Just about everyone attended the 2 day May training sponsored by the DE on AEPS. We all received the spiral bound assessment and curriculum books for 0-3 and 3-5. Do you know where your books are? In September we had a one day follow-up training to refresh our skills and gain more information on AEPS. We invited our support staff to learn with us. Have you used any of the information?

I'd like to commend the "pioneers" who have agreed to pilot the AEPSI - online version of the AEPS. Lynn Eby, Tammy Berger, Lorri Lovelace Johnson, Deb Bennett, Chrys Velky, and Nicole Hinrichs from our department. Support staff include: Dawn Higgins, Susan Burnside, Trese Arends, Rosemary Anderson, Amanda Sigler, Amy Thompson, Lisa Richter, and Margo Kitzrow.

Many of the AEAs are using the AEPSi for Birth to 3, Early ACCESS children who qualify with a 25% delay. Many AEAs are also using the new GOLD online assessment for high probability children. I will be presenting information to the Zone Coordinators and Jerry on Tues. Nov. 15 to see if they think we should move in this direction as well. Interesting in coming on board??? Let me know real soon!
