Creating Skills that Can Be Measured

• Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills

• Use your team to identify measurable skills

Creating Skills That Can Be Measured

Page 3: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

• Functional Gross Motor Skills for Classroom and School

• Functional Arm and Hand Activities

• Stepping Stones for Communication

• Cognitive Stepping Stones

Page 4: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

Reporting Progress

• Need to know if strategies are working and if student is ready to move to a more advanced skill

• Important to recognize success

• Progress is often slow; skills may take a long time to develop

What to Measure?

• Will the information collected reveal useful or meaningful information?

• Does it tell us how the student is doing in terms of acquiring a specific skill?

• Is the method of data collection practical?

• Who is responsible for collecting the data?

• Who is responsible for analyzing the data?

Page 6: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

What to Measure?

• Measure what you teach!

Page 7: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

When to Measure?

• Within meaningful routines

• Periodically through-out the term

Page 8: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

How to Measure?

• Degree of Active Participation• Frequency of the Skill• Accuracy of the Skill• Appropriateness of the Skill• Duration of the Skill• Latency of the Skill• Generalization of the Skill

Page 9: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

Degree of Active Participation

• Objective is to increase the student’s level of independence with the skill

• Decrease the Amount of Prompting Required

• Prompt levels

• Measure degree of success at a certain prompt level

Degree of Active ParticipationMeasurement Form

Take data over numerous days because performance can fluctuate

Levels of Prompts:1. Independent2. Non-Verbal (Eye contact)3. Verbal only4. Physical only (helping hand)5. Verbal and Physical6. Verbal & Hand over Hand (Full Support)

Page 11: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

Examples of Measureable Active Participation Skills

• The student will activate a single switch to play music with a verbal prompt only.

• The student will make a choice between two objects by touching object, with no more that a physical prompt, five times per session.

• The student kicks a ball to a buddy.

Page 12: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

Frequency of the Skill

• How often does the student perform the target objective?

Page 14: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

Examples of Frequency of Behaviour or Skill Measurement

• The student will make a choice for an activity using pictures 5 times per session, by the end of the term.

• The student will push the wheelchair door button on own twice a day.

• The student moves from sitting to standing on her own 3 times a day.

Page 15: Reporting Progress. Creating Skills that Can Be Measured Many of the skills involved gross motor, fine motor, or communication skills Use your team to

Accuracy of the Skill/Behaviour

• How precisely does the student perform the behaviour?
