Early Intervention Evaluations (Playlist)

In this playlist, Dr. Cate Crowley walks Early Intervention Evaluators through critical steps in conducting an Early Intervention evaluation considering current federal law, state regulations, clinical judgment, and evidence-based practice.

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 2b- Standardized Test Misuse

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 2b- Standardized Test Misuse

In this module, Cate continues discussing current issues of misuse of current standardized EI assessments. She then examines across-test inconsistencies across tests like the REEL-3, the Rossetti, Bayley-III, E-LAP, Brigance, DAY-C, amongst others. Finally, Cate will take a deeper look at the validity and reliability of these common assessments, and caution evaluators to rely on more than a standard score in determining disability eligibility for children before the age of three.

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 3- Case Study

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 3- Case Study

In the third module of this series, Cate looks at the NYSDOH Communication and Motor Clinical Practice Guidelines and uses case study videos of young children to demonstrate how detailed observation and informed clinical opinion can be powerful tools in doing an EI evaluation. Using observation of real children’s behavior, she guides the viewer through the steps for distinguishing a child eligible for EI services from a child in the wide range of “normal”.

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 4- The Critical Questions

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 4- The Critical Questions

In the fourth module of this series, Cate explains the importance of parents as partners in EI disability evaluations. She presents research-based Critical Questions that evaluators can use to gather useful information from caregivers when evaluating a child, including information about the child’s language and dialect acquisitional history. Cate also presents the case of a 2.8-year-old boy, Alex, to demonstrate how to use the clinical questions to gather information and write up a quality EI evaluation.

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 5- Informed Clinical Opinion

Early Intervention Evaluations- Module 5- Informed Clinical Opinion

In the fifth module of this series, Cate discusses characteristics of a quality Early Intervention evaluation. She explains that evaluators must include specific data learned during the assessment and make “vignettes” or “holograms” paint a picture of the child. Then, she guides us through cases of real children, demonstrating how to use informed clinical opinion to make rich observations about their communicative, cognitive, and motor functioning. Finally, Cate gives examples of what a “vignette” or “hologram” looks like in a written evaluation.
