With this multipart scoring process--and the input caregivers add with the revised Family Report--the \u003cb\u003eAEPS Test\u003c\/b\u003e lets professionals pinpoint what children can do, identify areas that need attention, and use that information as a starting point to develop individualized IFSP\/IEP goals and objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This volume is part of the bestselling \u003cb\u003eAEPS\u003c\/b\u003e system for children from birth to six years who have disabilities or are at risk for developmental delays.
