  HELP 3-6 Assessment Strands (2nd Edition)
(formerly "HELP for Preschoolers")

Edited by: Patricia Teaford, M.S., Jan Wheat, M.S., Tim Baker, Ph.D.

 • Developmental assessment framework -- skills are grouped by concept
 • Links assessment directly to instruction
 • New "Self Regulation" Strand to help screen strengths and needs
 • Two other new Strands, "Dramatic Play" and "Time."



Overview: 2nd Edition is completely revised and updated
  • New format for easier developmental assessment.
  • Groups the 585 HELP 3-6 behaviors/skills into 47 "concept-based" strands.
  • Provides columns for recording assessment dates, credit, ongoing observations and notes.
  • Includes a definition for each behavior/skill to help with continuity in applying credit.
  • Cross-indexed by ID number to all the HELP 3-6 materials.

Benefits:
Saves time: Helps you identify the "next steps" in development. Individualized record booklet simplifies developmental assessment by arraying the HELP 3-6 items into 47 developmentally sequenced strands.

Comprehensive: Facilitates your focus on a child's strengths, as well as needs, provides adaptations for assessing each behavior/skill, and promotes high expectations for all children -- covers the six developmental domains: Cognitive, Language, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Social-Emotional, and Self Help.

Hierarchical: Often skills listed on traditional checklists and standardized tests may be in developmental but not necessarily hierarchical order. Consequently, if a child "passes" one skill it does not necessarily mean that he is ready to learn the next skill. The hierarchical structure of the HELP 3-6 Assessment Strands addresses this need and provides an important method for assessment, monitoring, and determining "next steps."

For use with all children: The HELP 3-6 behaviors/skills follow a "normal" developmental sequence within strands and are applicable to all children. Three of the strands are for use with children who have special needs:
2-8 Sign Language
2-9 Speechreading
3-9 Wheelchair Skills.
