New Jersey Preschool Intervention and Referral

Early Screening Inventory Third Edition

Are your early learners developing as expected? Determine if they are ready for the next level with a  clear picture of visual motor/adaptive; gross motor;  language; cognition; and social-emotional skills. The Early Screening Inventory, Third Edition (ESI™-3)  is an easy to use, individually administered  developmental screener used to quickly identify  possible delays across the key domains of English  and Spanish-speaking students. As with the ESI-R™, the new ESI™-3 can be used in  school and early childhood settings, goes beyond the indirect assessment strategies utilized by other tools,  and relies primarily on direct observation of the student.

Ages and Stages Questionnaire

Can a questionnaire really capture my child’s true skills and developmental progress?

Yes! Studies have shown that parent-completed screeners like ASQ® are very effective at pinpointing child progress. Information parents give about their children is usually highly accurate. Plus a parent-report tool like ASQ calls for your unique perspective on how your child behaves and performs skills in natural settings like your home. That means it can capture the big picture of your child’s development better than a screening that takes place in an unfamiliar setting.

Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool

The Pyramid Model is a framework of evidence-based practices for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development. The TPOT is an assessment of a program or classrooms adheres to Pyramid Model practices. The data is then used to align program practices with the pyramid model framework.
