Assessment in Early Intervention: Making it Meaningful for Children and Families

Description What is assessment, why do we do it, how do we make assessment meaningful and use it to build intervention strategies and supports that help children and families in their everyday routines and activities? What are the different factors that can impact assessment and should then inform our practices? This hands-on workshop uses group discussion, problem solving, and case examples to help providers of all disciplines understand the key principles and best practices for meaningful assessment of very young children and their families.
