International Classification on Functional Disability (ICF model) SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSESSMENTS International Classification on Functional Disability (ICF model) Developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in measuring functional capacity Used by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics in the identification of disability among individuals. People are not identified as having a disability based upon medical condition, but rather are classified according to a detailed description of their functioning within various domains.

International Classification on Functional Disability (ICF model) SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSESSMENTS International Classification on Functional Disability (ICF model) Basic questions: How much difficulty is experienced? Does the child have difficulty in seeing? hearing? remembering or concentrating? communicating? self-care?

Sample Census Questions SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSESSMENTS Sample Census Questions Question: Do you have difficulty in seeing even if wearing glasses?

NEXT STEPS IN SPED ASSESSMENT Assessment (more broad-based/ multi-factored/ generic/ domain-based) Hypothesis (interpretation of results) Diagnostic-teaching (to test the initial hypothesis) What initial intervention can we provide based from the initial assessment? What teaching methods/ strategies can be used to address initial result? Analyze diagnostic-teaching results Is there improvement after the intervention? If not, conduct a more specific assessment. Next level of assessment Based from the results of the intervention, conduct another level of assessment.
