TRAINING IN CHILD ASSESSMENT AND ATTENTION TESTS

TRAINING ON CHILD ASSESSMENT AND ATTENTION TESTS MARCH 10–11, 2018

The primary objective is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills regarding the theoretical aspects, reporting, and clinical application techniques of tests administered to children and adolescents.

TRAINING OVERVIEW

The child assessment tests we have planned for this training are widely used in the field and are important tools that will help graduates from all disciplines gain comprehensive knowledge about assessment and children or adolescents.

TRAINING CONTENT

1. AGTE (Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory): This is an assessment tool administered through interviews with parents. It evaluates development during the first 6 years of life across 154 items and 5 categories (language-cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, social skills-self-care, and general development). Starting from 0–3 months and continuing through the 48–72-month age range, children’s language development, cognitive skills, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, social development, and self-care skills are individually examined, observed, and scored on a monthly basis. This assessment is conducted in an environment where the parent and child are together. The key objective is to obtain the most accurate information about the child. The results of the assessment provide systematic information about the child’s overall development and alert to potential developmental delays.

2. BENTON VISUAL MEMORY TEST: A attention-perception test applicable to individuals aged 8 and older, which provides information about the individual’s attention, perception, and memory status, and can identify attention deficits. The Benton Visual Memory Test can assess figure memory both immediately and with a delay; furthermore, it distinguishes visual memory from visual perception and motor skills.

3. BENDER GESTALT VISUOMOTOR PERCEPTION TEST: Administered to children aged 5 years and 6 months to 10 years and 11 months. In addition to being used as a developmental test to assess visual-motor function in children, it helps identify mental retardation, regression, functional loss, and organic brain damage in both adults and children, and sheds light on personality deviations, particularly in cases of regression.

4. CATELL 2A INTELLIGENCE TEST: A culture-free, international intelligence scale. It is administered to individuals aged 7 years and 6 months through high school age. Participants are asked to answer various question types, such as identifying the shape that continues the series or the shape that does not belong, within the allotted time.

5. CATELL 3A INTELLIGENCE TEST: An intelligence test administered to individuals with a college education. It is a culture-free, international intelligence scale. It is administered to individuals with a college education. Participants are asked to answer various question types, such as identifying the shape that continues the series or the shape that does not belong, within the allotted time.

6. FROSTIG DEVELOPMENTAL VISUAL PERCEPTION TEST: Administered to children aged 4–8, either individually or in groups. This is a perception test that helps assess children’s visual perception—their ability to recognize, distinguish, and interpret visual stimuli in relation to prior experiences. The test can be used to identify visual perception problems in children and determine their severity, as well as to decide on an appropriate academic program.

7. BURDON ATTENTION TEST: Used to measure a student’s attention span. It can be administered to the entire class to identify students experiencing attention deficits during the academic year, or individually to assess the attention span of students believed to have difficulty focusing. It can be administered to all individuals aged 10 to 20.

8. D2 ATTENTION TEST: Administered to individuals aged 9 to 60. It was developed to assess selective attention and mental concentration. Psychomotor speed, as well as the quality of performance indicated by correct and incorrect responses, is evaluated in this test.

9. GOOD ENOUGH HARRIS FIGURE DRAWING TEST: A drawing test administered to children aged 4–14 that aims to assess an individual’s cognitive development. It provides important information for identifying intellectual disabilities. Based on the idea that children’s pictorial representations reveal their perceptions of themselves and others, this is a specialized test that assesses intelligence through the drawing of a human figure

10. METROPOLITAN SCHOOL READINESS TEST: A test administered to children between the ages of 5 years 6 months and 6 years 0 months to determine whether they are ready for school, the rules required by school, and learning. The Metropolitan School Readiness Test consists of 6 subtests—Word Comprehension, Sentences, General Knowledge, Matching, Numbers, and Copying—and a total of 100 items.

11. PORTEUS MAZE TEST: This is an individual intelligence test administered to individuals aged 7 years 6 months to 14 years. Used to assess planning ability and general intelligence, the test consists of 12 maze cards. There is no time limit for the test.
