As a screener or diagnostic instrument, CMS measures learning in a variety of memory dimensions:

 

Attention and working memory

Verbal and visual memory

Short- and long-delay memory

Recall and recognition

Learning characteristics.

Links for Valuable Comparisons

For children with learning disabilities, diagnosed with TBI, ADHD, epilepsy, cancer, brain tumors, or strokes.

Beck Youth Inventories®

Beck Youth Inventories: To assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, disruptive behavior, and self-concept.

SENSORY PROFILE   (Ages birth to 14 years old)

The Sensory Profile™

The Sensory Profile™ 2 family of assessments provides you with standardized tools to help evaluate a child's sensory processing patterns in the context of home, school, and community-based activities. These significantly revised questionnaires evaluate a child's unique sensory processing patterns from a position of strengths, providing deeper insight to help you customize the next steps of intervention. The forms are completed by caregivers and teachers, who are in the strongest position to observe the child's response to sensory interactions that occur throughout the day.

 

The Sensory Profile 2 helps you: Identify and document how sensory processing may be contributing to or interfering with a child's participation at home, school, and the community.  Contribute valuable information to a comprehensive assessment of the child's sensory strengths and challenges in context.   Develop effective treatment plans, interventions, and everyday remediation strategies

 

NEUROCOGNITIVE PROCESSES ( Ages 3-16 years old )

NEPSY-II

The only customizable measure  designed to assess both basic and complex aspects of cognition critical to children’s ability to learn and be productive, in and outside of, school settings. 

 

To assess executive functioning and attention, language, memory and learning, sensory-motor, visual-spatial processing and social perception.

 

Assess executive functioning

Vary the number and variety of subtests according to the needs of the child

Link results to educational difficulties

Facilitate recommendations for mental health interventions

Obtain a comprehensive view of quantitative and qualitative patterns of neuropsychological performance

 

IQ TESTING (Ages of 6 and 17 years old)

WISC-V is an assessment of children's overall intellectual ability and various specific cognitive domains

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), is an individually administered intelligence test for children between the ages of 6 and 16.

 

To assess giftedness, intellectual and learning disabilities, brain injuries and evaluate cognitive processing.

 

The WISC-V generates a Full-Scale IQ (formerly known as an intelligence quotient or IQ score) that represents a child's general intellectual ability. It also provides five primary index scores: Verbal Comprehension Index, Visual Spatial Index, Fluid Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index, and Processing Speed Index.

 

ACADEMIC STRENGTHS (Ages 4-18 years old)

To assess academic strengths, weaknesses, and achievements in students.

WIAT-III The WIAT-III assesses the academic achievement of children, adolescents, college students and adults, aged 4 through 85. The test enables the assessment of a broad range of academics skills or only a particular area of need. The WIAT-II is a revision of the original WIAT (The Psychological Corporation), and additional measures. There are four basic scales: Reading, Math, Writing, and Oral Language. Within these scales, there is a total of 9 sub-test scores.

 

BEHAVIORAL & EMOTIONAL SCREENING BASC-3 ( Ages 2-21 years old)

BASC-3 is a comprehensive measure of a child's adaptive and problem behaviors in the community and home settings. There are three age levels: preschool, child, and adolescent.  A comprehensive set of rating scales and forms including the Teacher Rating Scales (TRS), Parent Rating Scales (PRS), Self-Report of Personality (SRP), Student Observation System (SOS), and Structured Developmental History (SDH). Together, they help you understand the behaviors and emotions of children and adolescents.

 

BENEFITS

  • Uses a multidimensional approach for conducting a comprehensive assessment

  • A strong base of theory and research gives you a thorough set of highly interpretable scales

  • Ideally suited for use in identifying behavior problems as required by IDEA, and for developing FBAs, BIPs, and IEPs

  • Enhanced computer scoring and interpretation provide efficient, extensive reports

  • Normed based on current U.S. Census population characteristics

  • Differentiates between hyperactivity and attention problems with one efficient instrument

 

An effective way to measure behavior

A computerized, objective measure of attention and inhibitory control normed by gender for ages 4 to 80+.

The Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.) provides healthcare professionals with objective measurements of attention and inhibitory control. The visual T.O.V.A. aids in the assessment of, and evaluation of treatment for, attention deficits, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The auditory T.O.V.A. aids in the assessment of attention deficits, including ADHD. T.O.V.A. results should only be interpreted by qualified professionals.
