Students who have complex needs, including cognitive, academic, motor, social-emotional, and/or behavioral impairments, often present as puzzles to educators. Conducting assessments that are informative and will guide instruction, as well as delivering programming that appropriately meets the needs of students, is often challenging to even the most invested educators. This workshop series will provide dynamic learning opportunities and discussion of research-based methodologies to better understand each learner’s areas of strength and weakness.

During each of the workshop days, participants will learn how to:
- Choose what is important to assess within the targeted domain
- Select appropriate evaluation instruments
- Modify assessment, as necessary, to capture the important information
- Use information obtained to drive instruction and intervention

Each workshop will focus on one domain:
(February 8) Workshop #1 - Cognitive/Academic Skills
(March 8) Workshop #2 - Behavioral Functioning
(April 4) Workshop #3 - Social-Emotional Competencies
