ASIEP-3: Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning - Third Edition

Ages: 2-0 to 13-11
Testing time: varies
Administration: Individual

Designed to identify individuals with autism, assist in planning appropriate educational programs for those individuals, monitor performance and progress, and research autism. Helps professionals evaluate children with autism, develop appropriate instructional plans, and monitor progress. It can also be used for differential diagnosis, as it distinguishes youngsters with autism from those with other severe handicaps.

The third edition covers normed data for individuals between the ages of 2-0 and 13-11. Teachers, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, parents, or professionals familiar with autism can quickly score the test, making it time and cost effective.

Necessary data is collected from five main standardized components:

1. Autism Behavior Checklist: provides a checklist of 47 behaviors typical of autistic individuals for use during the initial screening process.
2. Sample of Vocal Behavior: measures four characteristics of the spontaneous speech of children with autism (i.e., repetitiveness, noncommunication, intelligibility, and babbling).
3. Interaction Assessment: measures a child’s spontaneous social responses and reactions to requests.
4. Educational Assessment: measures a child’s functioning levels in five areas (i.e., stay in seat, receptive language, expressive language, body concept, and speech imitation).
5. Prognosis of Learning Rate: examines a child’s learning acquisition rate, using a discrete trial-direct instruction format.

Record Forms for all subtests are provided in a standard format, and a Summary Score Profile allows quick comparison of the child’s performance to patterns expected for youngsters with autism and for those with other handicaps.
