Full Description
With this in-depth, easy-to-use tool, your programme can reliably assess and monitor social-emotional development in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at risk for delays or challenges. An ideal follow up to screeners such as ASQ:SE, the two-part SEAM™ assessment reveals detailed qualitative information on children's social-emotional competence— and identifies their caregivers' strengths and areas of need. Easy to learn and implement, SEAM™ can be used by a wide variety of early childhood professionals, including those with little or no training in mental-health or behavioural interventions.
SEAM™ helps your programme:
support development of important social-emotional skills in order to minimize challenging behaviours
build strong, proactive partnerships with families
promote positive parent-child interactions in the critical first years of life
assist with developing developmentally appropriate goals and intervention activities
monitor child progress toward social-emotional goals
