International Classification on Functional Disability (ICF model)
Basic questions: How much difficulty is experienced?
Does the child have difficulty in
seeing?

22. 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.
