Description

Ages: 2-0 to 13-11
Testing Time: Varies
Administration: Individual

The Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning- Third Edition (ASIEP-3) is a valid and reliable measure of autism and related behaviors. It was designed to identify individuals with autism; assist in planning appropriate educational programs for those individuals; monitor performance and progress; and research autism. Necessary data is collected from five main standardized components:

1. Autism Behavior Checklist - provides a checklist of 47 behaviors typical of autistic individuals for use during the initial screening process
2. Sample of Vocal Behavior - measures four characteristics of the spontaneous speech of children with autism (i.e., repetitiveness, noncommunication, intelligibility, and babbling)
3. Interaction Assessment - measures a child's spontaneous social responses and reactions to requests
4. Educational Assessment - measures a child's functioning levels in five areas (i.e., stay in seat, receptive language, expressive language, body concept, and speech imitation)
5. Prognosis of Learning Rate - examines a child's learning acquisition rate, using a discrete trial-direct instruction format

This revised edition covers normed data for individuals between the ages of 2-0 (2 years 0 months) and 13-11 (13 years 11 months). Teachers, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, parents, or professionals familiar with autism can quickly score the test, making it time and cost effective.
