Learn how AEPS-3 works
As children and caregivers engage in everyday activities, you’ll use the AEPS-3 Test to assess children’s skills and abilities in 8 key areas of development.
Using the AEPS-3 Test results and the input caregivers provide in the family forms, you’ll identify areas where children need support and develop IFSP/IEP goals and outcomes they can work toward.
With the three-volume curriculum, you’ll match tiered teaching/intervention activities—universal, focused, and specialized supports—with children's individual needs.
Ongoing monitoring with the AEPS-3 Test helps you evaluate the effectiveness of interventions—and discover when goals have been reached, so you can move on to new ones.
