Department Data

So what data do we have to report at the FED X meeting on Wednesday?  100% of the ECSE teachers have used either the SEAM or AEPS tool to assess the social emotional area of development.  1000% of the teachers are able to write a functional  IFSP or IEP goal based on the assessment and use the Goal Functionality Scale or the RGORI tool to reflect on the quality of the goal.  Progress data is currently being collected on the goal on a quarterly basis.  Eleven of the fourteen ECSE Birth to 3 teachers have had a peer complete the Key Indicators of Family Guided Routine Based Intervention scale, which scores evidence based practices indicated during the observation. 

We currently have a teacher trained from each zone (Lynn Eby, Randi, Nicole, Deb Shelton, Tammy, and Carla) to complete the STAT tool.  The Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers & Young Children (STAT) is an interactive assessment tool used to screen for autism in children between 24 and 36 months of age. 

The tool has 12 items and takes about 20 minutes to administer.

Tasks assess key social and communication behaviors including:

·   imitation

·   play

·   requesting

directing attention
