DaSy: Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Process Online Module  

Just for Me

 

Just for Me provides an opportunity for you to take a step back from the content and apply it to your own professional practice. The activity below is presented in three parts:

  • Part 1: You will learn about a specific child and be asked to take notes about her skills/behaviors.
  • Part 2: You will use that information to classify her skills/behaviors as age-expected (AE), immediate foundational (IF), and foundational (F).
  • Part 3: You will use the decision tree to determine an outcome rating for the child.

REMINDER FROM SESSION 3

  • Age-Expected (AE) Skills: Skills and behaviors that are typical for children of a particular chronological age.
  • Immediate Foundational (IF) Skills: Skills and behaviors that occur developmentally just prior to age-expected ones.
  • Foundational (F) Skills: Skills and behaviors occurring early in development that are conceptually mapped to later skills and behaviors. These skills serve as the foundation for later development.
