2026 International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute

The Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System (3rd Ed.) is a linked system that includes assessment, goal development, teaching/intervention, and progress monitoring. The presenter, an author of the AEPS-3, will describe each component of the AEPS-3 and how it can be used to support young children in inclusive settings. The presentation will focus on: 1) the importance of using authentic assessment information to development functional goals, 2) a tiered curriculum framework that provides guidance on universal (tier 1), focused (tier 2), and specialized (tier 3) support, 3) how to use the AEPS-3 as an ongoing progress monitoring tool, and 4) how to include families in all aspects of their child's education using AEPS-3. ,
