Approved Evaluation and Assessment Tools

Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP)

Approved Screening, Evaluation, and Assessment Instruments

​

 

The following evaluation and screening tools have been approved by AzEIP for the TBEI program.  However, ACT approved tools are the DAYC-2 and the REEL.

​

Approved Screening Instruments

​

• Parent Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS)

• Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3)

• Ages and Stages Social-Emotional Questionnaire (ASQ-SE)

o Must be used in conjunction with another screening tool

• Battelle Developmental Inventory Screening Test, Second Edition

• Brigance Early Childhood Screen III

 

Approved evaluation instruments covering all areas of development

​

• Battelle Developmental Inventory – Second Edition

• Bayley Scales of Infant Development – Third Edition

• Brigance Inventory of Early Development III Standardized

• Developmental Assessment of Young Children (DAYC-2)- Second

​

Discipline specific instruments

 

Discipline specific tools may be used in addition to an evaluation instrument listed above but may not be used in lieu of those tools. A discipline specific tool can be used to obtain a standard score in the associated area of development and can be used in place of the same developmental area of an approved evaluation instrument, ensuring one standard score for all areas of development is obtained.

​

• Infant Neurological International Battery (INFANIB) (for infants under 1 year of age only)

• Peabody Developmental Motor Scales – 2

• Preschool Language Scale – 5

• Receptive – Expressive Emergent Language (REEL 3)

• Test of Early Communication and Emerging Language (TECEL) (for infants under 1 year of age only)

• Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) (for infants under 1 year of age only)

• Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Vineland-II)

 

Evaluators should review available medical documentation and choose the appropriate instruments when evaluating very young infants. Evaluators of the appropriate discipline can determine eligibility based on Record Review on any tool obtained by a licensed professional listed under the Approved Evaluation Instruments or the Discipline Specific Instruments section, showing a significant delay in that area. If a discipline specific tool is used to determine eligibility on record review, and the team is missing information about all areas of development, the team can gather that information during the Child and Family Assessment.

​

These tools may NOT be used for evaluation or eligibility determination, but may be used if needed, to supplement the AzEIP Child and Family Assessment.
