The SCERTS Model - Day 3 - Assessment

This virtual workshop is typically referred to as Day 3 of our 3 day SCERTS course. This course is most relevant for those who have already participated in Day 1, our introduction to SCERTS, and Day 2, program design using SCERTS. The focus of this session will be on providing specific guidelines in administering the SCERTS Assessment Process (SAP). The SAP is a curriculum-based assessment designed to pinpoint next steps in the domains of social communication and emotional regulation, the core challenges in autistic children and learners with social emotional learning differences.

The SAP is designed to: 1) establish a profile of developmental strengths and needs, 2) to write meaningful, purposeful, and motivating educational goals based on a learner's profile, functional needs, and preferences, 3) to select the most relevant interpersonal and learning supports, and 5) to monitor progress over time.

Our virtual format is interactive and particpants will have the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, practice scoring an assessment, and learn from one another throughout the day.

Please note that this course is live and will start at 9:00am US Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), so please check your clocks and time differences. A recording of this course will be made available for three weeks following the live event to paid participants. Although not required to participate in this course, those interested in using the SCERTS Assessment in their settings may wish to acquire the SCERTS Manuals, as all of the forms and materials are included in this resource. These manuals are sold separately.
