Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System for Infants and Children, Third Edition (AEPS®-3)
Here’s a quick look at the system’s components.
AEPS-3 Test
It begins with the assessment. The criterion-referenced, curriculum-based AEPS-3 Test evaluates developmental and early academic skills that children need to develop independence and succeed in kindergarten. Spanning birth to 6 years in one continuous, seamless assessment, the observational test has 400+ items and covers 8 developmental areas: fine motor, gross motor, adaptive, social-emotional, social-communication, cognitive, literacy, and math. The test links to specific strategies for building skills with the AEPS-3 curriculum.
AEPS-3 Curriculum
For use after the AEPS-3 Test, the reimagined AEPS-3 Curriculum creates engaging learning opportunities for children using universal, focused, and specialized supports and strategies. Professionals teach skills through 18 daily routines and activities with differentiation for children from birth to 6. Because skill acquisition isn’t solely determined by age, the curriculum spans three levels: Beginning, Growing, and Ready.
AEPS-3 Ready Set
The AEPS-3 Ready-Set pulls 40 developmentally advanced goals from the AEPS-3 for a concise measure focused on school readiness. The shorter Ready-Set supports convenient assessment of groups of children in preschool and Head Start classrooms. AEPS-3 Ready-Set is a tool you’ll use again and again to efficiently gather child assessment data and determine which children would benefit from the full AEPS-3 Test.
