SPED 529 - Comprehensive Assessment for Students with Severe Disabilities

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: SPED 510 with a minimum grade of “B” or consent of graduate program coordinator
Comprehensive Assessment for Students with Severe Disabilities is an advanced graduate course designed to provide students with an overview of assessment practice, methodologies, and instruments used to assess learner capacity, achievement and progress. Participants will learn pragmatic skills for observing, recording, analyzing and reporting learner performances. The course facilitates practical opportunities to administer formal and informal assessment techniques using contemporary problem-solving models reflecting current emphasis on inclusion and accountability in education for all children. The course will emphasize ecological assessment strategies and discrepancy analysis techniques targeting students with severe learning challenges. Significant fieldwork using formal and informal assessment techniques with actual subjects at the levels of licensure sought is an ongoing expectation of this course. Offered fall and spring semester.
