ISBN: 1557664234 ISBN-13: 9781557664235 Publisher: Brookes Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $33.25 Product Type: Loose Leaf Published: July 1999 Annotation: Traditional assessment measures can miss critical temperament and self-regulation problems that may indicate a child's risk for atypical development. Now there's TABS -- a new, norm-referenced screening and assessment tool for infants and young children ages 11-71 months. TABS is specifically designed to identify temperament and self-regulation behavioral indicators as early as possible by surveying key behavioral areas, including temperament, attention and activity, attachment and social behavior, neurobehavioral state, sleeping, play, vocal and oral behavior, senses and movement, and self-stimulatory behavior. TABS has been normed on nearly 1,000 young children from diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds developing typically and atypically. TABS normative research provides clinical validity for the regulatory disorder axis of the Diagnostic Classification System: 0-3, published by Zero to three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families. With TABS, professionals will be able to determine eligibility for early intervention and mental health behavioral support services because TABS scores coincide with state eligibility criteria for early intervention services and with mental health criteria for DSM-IV diagnoses. Use TABS today for Child Find, screening, determining eligibility for special services, planning, education and intervention (e.g., IEPs, IFSPs, and wraparound mental health behavioral support plans), monitoring, child progress and program effectiveness, and conducting applied research. The screener is a simple, 15-item form that parents complete in just 5 minutes. |
