The Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning (ASIEP-2) is a valuable tool for educators to assess students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and develop personalized educational plans. Here’s how it works:
- Assessment Team: A team of educators, including special education teachers, psychologists, and speech and language pathologists, administers the ASIEP-2 when a student is referred for assessment.
- Evaluation Process: The ASIEP-2 combines standardized assessments, observations, and input from parents and teachers to evaluate the student’s strengths and areas of need in communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors.
- Individualized Education Program (IEP): Based on the ASIEP-2 results, an IEP is created. This program outlines educational goals, accommodations, and services like speech therapy or social skills training.
- Progress Monitoring: The IEP is reviewed annually, and the ASIEP-2 may be administered again to track progress and make necessary adjustments to the student’s program.
Using the ASIEP-2, educators can develop targeted interventions that address each student’s unique needs, fostering academic and social success. Goally’s tablet-based platform can supplement interventions by helping kids build life and language skills through fun, gamified learning and digital visual schedules, and AAC apps.
