Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System (AEPS): The AEPS is a curriculum-based assessment that can be used to (a) determine children's strengths, interests, and emerging skills; (b) develop meaningful and functional IFSP and IEP goals/objectives; (c) plan individualized intervention within daily activities; and (d) monitor children's performance over time.

We are currently looking for providers working with young children (0-6) who would be willing to complete either the birth to three level or the three to six level of the AEPS revised edition. Click here for a list of incentives and directions for completing the AEPS Child Observation Data Recording Forms. 

You will need to complete the revised Data Recording form and a Basic Data Sheet for each child. Click here for a copy of the Basic Data Sheet. Please contact Misti Waddell at the University of Oregon to obtain a copy of the Data Recording Forms. Please contact Kristie Pretti-Frontczak if you have questions about the project.
