Tests and Measures 2
For Children and Youth with Moderate to Severe Physical Disabilities
This seminar bridges the gap between the latest research on standardized assessments and their applicability to children and youth with moderate to severe physical disabilities. Carlo will present various tests that can be utilized for children with limited sitting abilities to those who require wheeled mobility or assistive devices for walking. As a bonus, these tests are free, functional, quick and require minimal materials. Carlo will discuss utilization of the tests in goal setting, documentation, monitoring outcomes, and selection of assistive technology. Closed Captioned in English
BONUS: PRACTICAL TOOLKIT – Resource – Links to Assessment Tools, and Norms Where Available
