Well Screening®
Research Edition
By Barbara Ekelman, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Debra A. Dutka, M.A., CCC-SLP, & Karen St. Amour, M.A. Today’s schools have been tasked with identifying risk for learning disabilities before children have a chance to fail—and the earlier identification starts, the better. The Well Screening® tool is your quick, reliable, and comprehensive way to identify kindergarten students (ages 4–6) who are at risk for learning disabilities, including developmental language disorders, dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, and speech sound disorders. With just one 20-minute screener, you can examine student performance in multiple skill areas that predict their future success in school. BENEFITS: • Identifies at-risk students early, so that further evaluation and intervention can be provided as soon as possible. • Covers areas missed by other screeners—looks at many domains that research identifies as important for school success. • Pinpoints specific strengths and weaknesses in areas that matter most for academic success. • Digital-only format that can be delivered via Zoom or other video interface. • Great for monitoring the child’s progress in the fall, winter, and spring of the kindergarten year. HOW IT WORKS An engaging online screener with an animated, game-like interface, Well Screening is a more in-depth tool for use after a universal screening questionnaire. It includes 10 subtests that examine skills in the following key domains: receptive language, expressive language, social communication, early literacy, reading, attention, math calculation, speech sound production, and motor skills. Administered on a computer or tablet, Well Screening is completed by the student, who responds to prompts from animated characters. Once the screening is complete, Well Screening automatically generates a detailed learning profile of the child’s skills and areas of need, with scaled scores and percentile ranks included to help guide instruction for targeted areas.

Early identification is the first step to helping young children with language delays get on track for reading proficiency and school success.

It’s simple with QUILS™, two game-like, web-based screeners that help you evaluate the language skills of children ages 3 through 5 years—and make sure their progress is appropriate for their age group.

NEW
US$139.95 | Stock #: 22112-52346 | 2021 For English–Spanish bilingual children, now there’s the new QUILS™: ES! Like the QUILS screener, QUILS: ES looks at vocabulary, syntax, and process—but to give a comprehensive picture of the skills of bilingual children, QUILS: ES consists of separate English and Spanish sections. Normed on bilingual English–Spanish students, it offers a full picture of bilingual language development and is sensitive enough to pinpoint potential language delays and difficulties in bilingual children.
