According to Wortham (2012), “Screening tests are administered to detect indicators that a child might have a developmental problem that needs to be further investigated” (p. 56). Based on the results of these screening tests, you can develop diagnostic tests to help identify specifically where a child is struggling with their development. For this assignment, start by analyzing two different children from the “Developmental Checklists Birth to Five” document. These checklists are already completed and contain information about the development of children ranging in ages from birth to five. You will need to choose the developmental checklist of two different children’s age groups to analyze. Based on your analysis of the information presented in the checklist, create a diagnostic test for one skill on the checklist for each child. Your assignment should include:
You will need to submit this assignment to your instructor as a Word document. Your assignment should be four to five pages in length, not including the title page and a reference page. Lastly, include at least one resource in addition to your textbook and utilize proper 6th edition APA citation guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
