“…Bagnato et al (2010) examined 87 screening and assessment tools (some norm-referenced), and while recommendations for each tool were made, no standard was found. Other studies have done analyses and come to similar determinations (Bricker et al, 2008;Macy et al, 2005;Sterling, Candler, & Neville, 2011). Most recently, Macy et al (2015) examined the literature on conventional early intervention assessments to explore the technical adequacy of assessments for eligibility purposes.…”

“…When completing an evaluation of any child, it is important to use a triangulation approach in the evaluation process (El-Ghoroury & Krackow, 2012; Keilty et al, 2009; Macy et al, 2005; Myers et al, 1996; Sterling et al, 2011). No one assessment tool should ever lead to a determination of eligibility or need (Squires, 2015).…”

“…No one assessment tool should ever lead to a determination of eligibility or need (Squires, 2015). Triangulation has been described as use of observation, caregiver interview, and caregiver and child interaction (Keilty et al, 2009; Macy et al, 2005; Myers et al, 1996; Ringwalt, 2008; Sterling et al, 2011). Triangulation can be done by corroborating assessment results from one assessment tool to another, such as comparing scores on norm-referenced and curriculum-based tools, or can be accomplished within one assessment tool itself.…”

“…Triangulation can be done by corroborating assessment results from one assessment tool to another, such as comparing scores on norm-referenced and curriculum-based tools, or can be accomplished within one assessment tool itself. Indeed, a triangulation approach is built into several different play-focused, curriculum-based tools (Keilty et al, 2009; Macy et al, 2005; Myers et al, 1996; Ringwalt, 2008; Sterling et al, 2011). Triangulation is also recommended from screening to eligibility determination to intervention planning (Squires, 2015).…”

Population changes, legislative changes, time and cost constraints, and practitioner and family perceptions each affect the delivery of early intervention services. This pilot project examined current evaluation practices used with the birth to 3 population. The role of norm-referenced and authentic assessment tools in the eligibility determination process was examined through a convenience sample of child–caregiver dyads and interdisciplinary practitioners. A majority of the children in the project were given a norm-referenced assessment along with authentic assessment measures. For more than half of those children, interpretation of the norm-referenced scores was questioned as standardized procedures could not be followed due to home language differences. Practitioners reported using authentic assessment information rather than norm-referenced data to derive developmental needs in nearly 80% of the children evaluated. The results of the pilot project provide a foundation for future study of evidence-based practices for norm-referenced and authentic assessment tool use with infants and toddlers.
