 This is a powerpoint assignment

In this section of the assessment, you will research and report on assessment questionnaires/tools that can be used to assess the development of 4 to 5 year old children. You will research the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, which can be found at agesandstages.com and two additional questionnaires, developmental checklists, or other tools that you independently select.  For each selection you will conduct research utilizing  academic articles. The information needs to be formatted as a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation will include a minimum of 14 slides including a title slide and a reference slide. 

* As you are completing your research, do not confuse assessment questionnaires (screening tools), with assessment tools. A screening questionnaire is intended as the first line of early intervention; a baseline. As your research for the sharing forum indicated, diagnostic and on going assessment are much more involved. You can refer back to that research by clicking on the following links:

• https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/childdevelopment/screening.html

For the purpose of this assignment, you are not researching assessment tools. Instead, that will be covered in a different section of the course. For more information about screening tools you may use the information shared in the discussion forum or embedded in this assignment. I also encourage you to to your own research as well.*
