Choosing AEPS-3 for Child Assessment, Data Collection, and Reporting: How the New Tool Meets Colorado’s Needs

Presented by: Jennifer Grisham, Ed.D.

AEPS^®-3 is one of three approved tools on the Results Matter menu in Colorado. How can this linked assessment and curriculum meet your program’s needs and help you provide the best support for young children with disabilities? Attend this live webinar and get clear answers directly from AEPS-3 co-developer Jennifer Grisham, Ed.D.

As the most sensitive curriculum-based assessment available, AEPS-3 helps programs not only accurately measure progress for children who have or are at risk for disabilities, but also meet federal accountability mandates from the U.S. Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). In this webinar, Dr. Grisham will explain how AEPS-3:

• Measures even the smallest steps of progress—steps that can easily go unnoticed by less sensitive instruments with wide gaps between test items
• Makes assessment easier with time-saving features like group assessment activities
• Supports progress with a multi-tiered, activity-based curriculum that can be used to customize instruction for all students
• Aligns with OSEP child outcomes and enables robust, efficient OSEP reporting, so you can ensure that the data you report are accurate and genuine measures of OSEP outcomes
• Promotes parent engagement through AEPS-3’s family-friendly features
