Interpreting and Using Assessment Results
Case study
Roberto is a child in your field experience site. Your field experience site uses the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) to screen all children in your site. Roberto scored above the cutoff point in all areas on the ASQ-3 except for communication, where his score was far below the cutoff point, which indicates a need for further assessment. Please answer the following questions (please do not read other classmate responses until you have responded).
Your field experience supervisor has shared Roberto's scores with you and now wants to determine how much you know about assessment and the role of screening.
- Based on the scores on the ASQ-3, what would you recommend for further assessment and why?
- What are the limitations of a screening instrument such as the ASQ-3 and what are appropriate uses of screening results?
Further assessment indicated that Roberto had a significant language delay, and qualified for language intervention from a speech pathologist.
- Your field experience supervisor wants you to think about using assessment results to inform your instruction. How can you link these assessment results to your instruction? Please give specific examples and be sure that these are based on developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) and scientifically based practice.
