CR Assessments: Combining the ABLLS-R + AFLS
Friday, July 7, 2023 at 10:30 am CST
Hosted by: Nissa Van Etten, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA Director, Assessment & Clinical Training

In a recent survey, behavior analysts reported the most frequently used assessments included the VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, and VABS for individuals with Autism and IDD. Currently, CentralReach has combined the ABLLS-R and the AFLS assessments to support the need to assess learners from early intervention throughout transition into adulthood. Participants will engage in a lively discussion to review the combined assessment, the rationale for combining two criterion-referenced assessments to support learners across the lifespan, and the need to track multiple assessments over time for repeated measures.

CR Assessments: Why Assessing Across the Lifespan Matters
Thursday, July 13, 2023 at 11:30 am CST
Hosted by: Nissa Van Etten, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA Director, Assessment & Clinical Training

BHCOE reports that one of the difficulties practicing behavior analysts face is the systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of ABA. This is due in part to the difficulty of administering the same measurement instruments for individuals at different ages. The combination of the ABLLS-R and AFLS assessments as CR Assessments now allows practicing behavior analysts and special educators the ability to utilize the same assessment tool for repeated measures across an individual’s treatment journey. The skills that will be assessed along with the locations of the assessments, teaching environments, and referral rationale will vary depending on the learner’s age, level of disability, language ability, living arrangements, school setting, and other considerations.

CR Assessments: Scoring the ABLLS-R + AFLS
Friday, August 4, 2023 at 10:30 am CST
Hosted by: Nissa Van Etten, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA Director, Assessment & Clinical Training and James W. Partington, Ph.D., BCBA-D, Author, ABLLS-R and Co-Author AFLS

Scoring the ABLLS-R and AFLS assessments has been an area of focus for many clinicians and educators using both assessments. Criterion-referenced assessments are scored from historical data, stakeholder interviews, as well as direct assessment of the learner in face-to-face scenarios. Participants will engage in a lively discussion to review how to score the ABLLS-R and the AFLS per recommendations from the authors of the assessments as well as according to best practice recommendations provided by experts in assessment administration.

CR Assessments and Treatment Objectives: How to Design an Effective Intervention Package
Friday, August 11, 2023 at 10:30 am CST
Hosted by: Nissa Van Etten, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA Director, Assessment & Clinical Training

Behavior analysts are responsible for administering a battery of assessments for their clients. These may include norm-referenced, and criterion-referenced assessments. Once assessments have been administered, behavior analysts design treatment plans that indicate appropriate intervention strategies, teaching objectives, which should include skill acquisition targets and behavior reduction targets. This webinar will review how to utilize CR Assessments to leverage decision-making, reporting, and treatment plan guidance to ensure targets have been designed for optimal outcomes for clients.
