Creating a Comprehensive View
of Behavioral Functioning
Rapid Screener permits school, private professionals, and families to
collaborate by each filling out a rating. The result? One single,
efficient report that fully analyzes behavior across persons and settings to
create a comprehensive, unified view of the student.
-
School Psychologists and
Private Clinicians: Use Rapid Screener
to have up to 10 different raters evaluate student behavior.
Include teachers, DIS professionals,
private speech pathologists, and other staff, and of course, family members as
raters. You can use Rapid Screener to identify
whether there are significant problems occurring during the school program and
compare it to other settings, such as home or community.
-
Teachers:
By completing Rapid Screener, you can quickly identify
those students who are having significant problems in your class and
bring the information to the SST or IEP Team for review. You
can also compare how students function in different classrooms, a
great way to identify the behavioral components which may underlie
learning disabilities or academic difficulties.
-
DIS Staff and Private
Providers: Rapid Screener can be a valuable way for you
to provide specific input about how the student functions in your individual or
group setting and
compare that to other school, home, and other community settings.
-
Family and Relatives: You can use Rapid Screener to determine
whether the problems you are observing at home or in the community are also
occurring during your child's school program.
Rapid Screener's analysis engine quickly identifies important
behaviors to track or target for intervention. The Multi-Rater Report is
especially useful in providing an overall picture of how students function in
all important settings.
All Raters can...
- Identify which behaviors are the greatest problems
- Evaluate which adaptive skills require prompting or alternate teaching
approaches
- Evaluate student functioning across time and settings
- Focus not just on the frequency of behavior, but determine the severity
of behaviors across situations and across time
- Determine response to intervention successes as well as the
effectiveness of prescribed medications
- Receive an instant report of their results
