Assessment Tool Presentation
I am doing my assessment tool presentation on, the Assessment of Functional Living Skills (AFLS), below is the requirements for the PowerPoint slide, I will be doing the video presentation portion once the slides are done, thank you so much! The PowerPoint needs to be 10 slides or less
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of an assessment tool for individuals with ASD as well as to demonstrate your skills in communicating key information to others.
Deliverables
We are often called upon to share our knowledge and present professionally for colleagues, parents and/or families to break down academic language into applicable, targeted information. You will practice this skill by creating a presentation on one of the assessment tools that is used for individuals with ASD that you are interested in learning more about. A list of potential assessment tools can be found at the end of this assignment overview, but it is not an exhaustive list. The tool that you review should reflect something that interests you and might be useful in your current or future work.
The presentation will be a brief video discussing slides that show a summary of the content you find out in your research on the assessment tool that you choose.
The presentation itself should be approximately 6-10 slides (NO MORE THAN A 5 MINUTE VIDEO!), so make sure you select the most important materials to present on your topic (see the scoring grid below for essential components).
Activity Details
Step 1: Select an assessment tool and sign-up for that topic.
Step 2: Prepare your materials.
Prepare your materials paying careful attention to the requirements outlined in the Presentation Scoring Grid below. Make sure you limit the presentation to under 10 slides and present the material in a video less than 5 minutes long. You can create slides in any format you are comfortable with, such as PowerPoint, Prezi, etc., and can create your presentation in powerpoint, zoom, etc., but just be sure the media is technically possible for your classmates to view your slides and hear you speak.
Slides: Your slides are a guide for you when you are creating your video. The slides should include the following information:
- Name of your assessment tool, and who created/validated it
- What the tool is designed to assess and why it is important (what can it tell you)
- The population with whom the tool is intended to be used
- The psychometric properties of your assessment tool (reliability and validity)
- Topics (and sub-topics) covered in the tool
- Scoring scheme and general interpretation of scoring (what constitutes a high or low score if there are cutoffs, etc.)
- Review and include at least 5 peer reviewed journal articles to support your claims about what we know about this tool in response to the above items
- Summarize what this literature tells you we should do in practice to use the tool or apply recommendations from this tool
- Summary of Resources/References
