CEP 591LEC - Psychological Assessment of Infants and Preschoolers

The focus of this course is on developmental issues for children from birth to five years of age. Students will become proficient in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of specific assessment tools including the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-Second Edition, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence-Revised, and the Differential Ability Scales. Children in this age group often visit the class with their parents, offering the students direct, one-to-one contact. Developmental anomalies are also discussed and students are provided information about the manifestation of these anomalies, long-term and short term ramifications, and effective interventions. Education laws and services available to this population are reviewed. Note: Test use fee. Prerequisite(s): matriculation in school psychology.
