Unlike tools with add-on tests or activities for children with disabilities, AEPS was designed to link assessment, goal development, intervention, and evaluation for the purpose of improving outcomes for children with disabilities or developmental delays. Extensive research and field-testing show that the comprehensive, seamlessly linked AEPS is reliable and valid and results in measurable, meaningful progress for children birth to 6 years. And not just for children with disabilities—all children, including those who are typically developing and those who are at risk.
The highly sensitive AEPS Test accurately measures children's progress in six key developmental areas: fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, adaptive, social-communication, and social.
