Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System (AEPS®) for Infants and Children

Second Edition

By Diane Bricker, Ph.D., Betty Capt, Ph.D., OTR, JJ Johnson, Ph.D., Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, Ph.D., Kristine Slentz, Ph.D., Elizabeth Straka, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, & Misti Waddell, M.S.

All across the country, programs like yours choose AEPS® for linked assessment, intervention, and programming for kids with disabilities and kids at risk. Backed by decades of research, AEPS is the system that: • Works for children. Less sensitive assessments can miss the smallest increments of progress. AEPS picks them up, so it’s easier to identify kids at risk for delays and assess the progress of children with disabilities. • Works for families. With AEPS, families can share priorities and concerns on the Family Report—information you can use to inform interventions. Families also love how AEPS gives them a clear picture of their child’s progress toward goals. • Works for you. AEPS collects only the data you need—and clearly shows you what to do next. And with the web-based management system, AEPSi™, you’ll communicate more consistently with team members, run reports in seconds, and assess multiple children at once with group assessment activities.

AEPS Interrater Reliability Certification

Birth to Three Years

By Jennifer Grisham, Ed.D., & Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, Ph.D.

Three to Six Years

By Jennifer Grisham, Ed.D.

“An invaluable tool for new users.”—Phoebe Rinkel, KCCTO-KITS Infant

Toddler Specialist Network, Kansas

How can you ensure that you or your staff use observation skills to score AEPS correctly and consistently? Add AEPS® Interrater Reliability Certification to your professional development toolbox! Invaluable for states and districts that require teachers to demonstrate reliability on assessments, these online certification modules help you use AEPS accurately to promote real progress for every child.

HOW IT WORKS AEPS users view a narrated training presentation and watch video examples of real children. While observing children in the videos, users take a practice test and review the correct answers. Then, users complete the certification test, observing and scoring items across every area of the AEPS Test. The online system calculates overall results and results by area immediately—and gives users a chance to review the correct answers and rationale for each score. Users who score 80% or higher are certified reliable for three years and can print a certificate. Those with scores that fall below 80% can review the first test and take a second test to try for certification. (A user’s access period for the certification module is valid for one year from the date of purchase.)

BENEFITS • Ensures that AEPS is scored accurately and consistently • Helps pinpoint professional development needs of AEPS users • Supports accurate data collection for OSEP child outcomes reporting • Increases providers’ AEPS knowledge and confidence
