Autism Screening Instrument 3-ASIEP3 
The Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning—Third Edition (ASIEP-3) is a valid and reliable measure of autism and related behaviors. It was designed to identify individuals with autism; assist in planning appropriate educational programs for those individuals; monitor performance and progress; and research autism. Necessary data is collected from five main standardized components:
1.Autism Behavior Checklist — provides a checklist of 47 behaviors typical of autistic individuals for use during the initial screening process
2.Sample of Vocal Behavior — measures four characteristics of the spontaneous speech of children with autism (i.e., repetitiveness, noncommunication, intelligibility, and babbling)
3.Interaction Assessment — measures a child’s spontaneous social responses and reactions to requests
4.Educational Assessment — measures a child’s functioning levels in five areas (i.e., stay in seat, receptive language, expressive language, body concept, and speech imitation)
5.Prognosis of Learning Rate — examines a child’s learning acquisition rate, using a discrete trial-direct instruction format
This revised edition covers normed data for individuals between the ages of 2-0 (2 years 0 months) and 13-11 (13 years 11 months). Teachers, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, parents, or professionals familiar with autism can quickly score the test, making it time and cost effective.

Social Language Development Test Adolescent 
Identify atypical social language behaviors in your adolescent students and determine how they compare to their typically-developing peers.
Go to your IEP conference with data backed by research and norms on normal and language-disordered subjects, including those on the autism spectrum.

Focuses on skills proven to be deeply sensitive to the subtle aspects of social language development:
interpretation and response to sarcasm
peer-to-peer perspective-taking
responding to sensitive information and rumors
understanding socially complex emotions
Is standardized on 1,334 subjects
Shows statistically-significant age progression
Assesses students' language-based responses to portrayed, peer-to-peer situations (unlike other tests which rely on observation forms)
Differentiates typically-developing adolescents from those with language learning disorders or autism
Yields standard scores, percentile ranks, and age equivalents
Has statistical analysis, including standard error of measurement, inter-rater reliability, contrast group studies, point biserial correlations, Chi Square analysis, ANOVA studies, and more

Social Language Development Test Elementary 
Many children with language impairment (LI) exhibit poor social interaction with others. These differences may appear as early as preschool and continue or intensify as these children mature.
Many children perform well on traditional language tests, yet their social language skills are inadequate. This test will substantiate the influence of your students' language disorders on their social disorders and qualify them for therapy. The Social Language Development Test Elementary:
is standardized on 1,494 subjects
focuses on language-based skills of social interpretation and interaction with friends, the skills found to be most predictive of social language development
assesses students' language-based responses to portrayed, peer-to-peer situations (unlike other tests which rely on observation forms)
differentiates typically-developing children from those with language learning disorders or autism
yields standard scores, percentile ranks, and age equivalents
has statistical analyses including SEM, inter-rater reliability, contrast group studies, biserial correlations, Chi Square analysis, ANOVA studies, and more
Rationale
Your students' proficiency in social language requires the ability to appropriately infer and express what another person is thinking or feeling within a social context. Your assessment of their ability to make multiple interpretations, take mutual perspectives, make inferences, and negotiate with and support their peers gives insight into your students' social understanding and social language competency. Test tasks reflect the developmental refinement of social language comprehension and expression.
