quick guide 58 EARLY INTERVENTION Schedule of Growing Skills Martin Bellman, Sundra Lingam and Anne Aukett Age Range: 0–5 years Suitable for: Early Years Professionals, Health Visitors, Nursery Workers and Educational Psychologists Administration: Individual Timed: 20 – 30 minutes early years only Schedule of Growing Skills (SGS) is an invaluable tool for professionals who need to establish the developmental levels of children. The individual assessment can be used at any time with children from birth to 5 years, enabling you to assess them as and when appropriate and convenient. SGS provides a reliable ‘snapshot’ of a child’s developmental level, including areas of strength and potential delay. It examines nine key areas, all of which were developed from Mary Sheridan’s STYCAR sequences: - Passive posture - Hearing and language - Active posture - Speech and language - Locomotor - Interactive and social - Manipulative - Self-care social - Visual By using colourful and engaging toys like building blocks, a doll, pegs and shapes, the assessment makes the tasks feel like playtime to the child, allowing you to observe and assess reactions while the child ‘plays’. Each record form allows for up to four assessments of any one child, providing a clear indication of progress over time. For those that require further assessment, subsequent record forms can be utilised. A simple scoring system highlights developmental areas where children might potentially have a delay, indicating where referral might be necessary. Why use SGS? • Provides a clear graphical representation of a child’s developmental level – an ideal basis for discussion with other professionals and parents • SGS is quick and easy to use. With clear administration instructions for all items and guidelines for scoring and interpreting results, the user can provide feedback within 30 minutes • Using SGS as a universal screening measure ensures that all children are assessed in a consistent way • A separate cognitive score can be derived from relevant items to aid interpretation . . . and the SGS Training Course? • Ensures competency in child assessment amongst all users of SGS, whatever their level of experience • Delivered by highly experienced tutors, the course enables users to develop a comprehensive understanding of the administration and scoring of SGS • Delegates will receive a certification of competence in administration, along with a training pack of presentation handouts
