| Description |
Authentic Assessment is the process of ongoing observation in the context of everyday routines in the collection of relevant information that informs a more comprehensive understanding of a child’s developmental behavior and performance.
Learning how to enhance observations and interpretations from a neuroscience-perspective is the primary focus of this workshop. Participants will learn about the stress response system, including the ways in which indicators of stress may be presented for observation. In this manner, child development professionals will be able to more fully understand a child’s unique developmental profile and in turn be able to individualize subsequent intervention.
Objectives
Participants will…
*define authentic enhancement in the specific context of early intervention
*discover the most recent research on stress and its influence on early development
*understand the ways in which neruobehavioral observation can be used to enhance the assessment process
*learn about three neurobehavioral systems: autonomic, motor, and state
