The ASIEP-3 (Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning - Third Edition) is a comprehensive and reliable tool designed to identify autism and related behaviors in children, aid in educational planning, monitor progress, and support research efforts. Developed with updated normative data and enhanced reliability and validity studies, this instrument is essential for professionals aiming to provide the best support for children with autism. Necessary data is collected from five main standardized components:
Autism Behavior Checklist: A checklist of 47 behaviors typical of autistic individuals used during the initial screening process.
Sample of Vocal Behavior: Measures four characteristics of spontaneous speech in children with autism (repetitiveness, noncommunication, intelligibility, and babbling).
Interaction Assessment: Evaluates a child's spontaneous social responses and reactions to requests.
Educational Assessment: Assesses a child's functioning levels in five areas (stay in seat, receptive language, expressive language, body concept, and speech imitation).
Prognosis of Learning Rate: Analyzes a child's learning acquisition rate using a discrete trial-direct instruction format.
