Comparison of Assessment Tool Constructs Heidi McDaniel Capella University Child Behavior Checklist There are many checklists that can be utilized to use with children and adolescents. Some counseling agencies have developed their own informal checklists, while others use standardized checklists. “A widely used set of checklists for children is the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment, which has three versions (Preschool, School-Age, and Young Adults),” (Whiston, 2009, p. 129). By utilizing these checklists, therapists and clinicians can collect information from different sources, such as the child or adolescent, parents, teachers, etc. One commonly used assessment tool from the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment is the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL).

(instructor, ch.6 lecture notes) From month one to month four is the second stage is the first acquired adaptation where the child has repeated an action enough to learn what the return of that action is. Month three and four are the secondary circular reactions. The third stage is month four to month eight where the child is becoming aware of things.
Observation Summary My objective in writing this paper is to observe a child and try to identify the purpose or function of the student’s problem behaviors using the ABC form. The ABC is an acronym that stands for antecedent, behavior, and consequences. This form was created in order to collect data in a measurable manner and possibly help the student improve his behavior. John is a 6th grade student I observed at Vale Middle School. I observed him throughout the day and within the first ten minutes of the class it was obvious that Mrs. Saenz, his Math teacher had a history with this student’s behavior.
“Graduating Peter” is a documentary that follows Peter Gwazdauskis, a child with Down Syndrome, and the act of inclusion. The documentary tracks Peter in sixth grade through high school; the film shows his struggle with being in general education classes with non disabled students and developing the life skills necessary to take care of himself. “Graduating Peter" also shows him coming out of his shell, enjoying the excitement of high school activities, and making new friends and well as continuing the bond of old friends. At the beginning of the documentary, I believe, Peter was at level II on the Continuum of Educational Services. Lever II on the Continuum states that the special education teacher and classroom teacher co-plan and co-teach for part of the school day.

Stimulation aids development. At the age of one and a half a child learns that asking questions gets information so they are always asking questions to get information. Babies from 0 – 6 months puts different things in their mouth so they learn what they are. Also at 6- 12 months they repeat a lot of things they see. At two years you can have a nice conversation with the baby.
