Developmental Early Childhood
In this webinar, data will be presented to highlight the value of dedicated basic concept assessment to determine if a child understands the basic concepts needed to be successful in formal education, identify the basic concepts a child has mastered and the concepts the child has not learned, and to contribute information to psychoeducational assessment.
The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder is currently 1 in 36 school-age children in the United States. Yet, the breadth of the spectrum is so broad and heterogeneous that it becomes perplexing as to how some individuals who are profoundly affected can carry the same diagnostic label as those with more subtle symptom expression. This workshop will help clinicians better understand the variability across the autism spectrum based symptom expression, levels of cognition and language, sex differences, emotional/behavioral regulation, and racial/ethnic differences. How to identify and differentiate the common co-occurring conditions will also be discussed.
This webinar will delve into the multifaceted landscape of early childhood assessment, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and partnership in ensuring positive outcomes for young learners. With a focus on building strong relationships between educators, allied professionals, and caregivers, attendees will explore effective strategies to meet the diverse needs of children entering preschool and kindergarten.

This webinar will provide an evidence-based framework for assessing and teaching relational concepts essential for learning and emotional regulation.

This webinar will focus on the BBCS–4:R and BSRA–4, which are early childhood assessments used to assess children’s understanding of a wide range of language concepts used in daily classroom conversations, teacher directions, and school curricula.
Difficulties with communication, language, and social skills are common concerns for individuals diagnosed with ASD. While some individuals’ communication and language difficulties are subtle, and other individuals are severe, early identification in all cases provides the best opportunity for improvement.
