Overview

When assessing students with ASD or for suspicion of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), gathering multiple sources of data across all domains will best inform efforts to support the student at school. This section includes criterion-referenced measures that may be used to develop a curriculum and track progress, as well as a motivation and learning strategies.

The additional assessments in this section of the TARGET include the following:

  • Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised (ABLLS-R)
  • School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory (SMALSI)

    Currently, no autism-related research has been published using the SMALSI. With regard to using the ABLLS-R in ASD, content validity and interrater reliability have been established (Usry, Partington, & Partington, 2018), as has convergent validity (Malkin, Dixon, Speelman, & Luke, 2017).
