Providers who wish to assess groups of children simultaneously may chose to assess up to six children across one developmental area at a time or, the most efficient assessment strategy, to assess them across all developmental areas using the new sets of assessment activities that are available in AEPSi. The assessment activities enable providers to observe all of the items on the AEPS Test with just seven or eight activities. The activities are semi-structured and embed easily in commonly occurring home and classroom activities, depending on the set you select.

Being able to assess several children across multiple areas of development saves time and allows teams to observe trends and patterns among children, as well as observe firsthand the interrelated nature of child development. AEPSi also enables providers to enter the assessment data for all of the children in the group on one screen and then automatically scores individual assessments for each included child—another time saver.
