An Inside Look at the CODF
Child Observation Data Form (CODF)
REVIEW the test administration information beginning on page *1 of APP3- Volume 2, Chapter 2. Review item criteria, illustrations, and notes beginning on page *4 of APP3- Volume 2, Chapter 3. Make sure you understand the methods for collecting child performance data and using procedures before using this form.
RECORD the test administration date and examiner at the top of each AEPs-3-area (Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Adaptive, Social Emotional, Social Communication, Cognitive, Literacy and Math).
OBSERVE the child and score AEPS-3 Test items by comparing the child's performance on each item with its stated criterion. Score items without using the stated criteria will invalidate the test results.
Use Notes to assist in qualifying children (some topical but highly recommended). Notes are as follows:
- C = Conduct; M = Modification; Q = Quality; R = Report.
Target column refers to identified IEP or IPSP goal. Check this box for every selected goal.
IECORD the child's results at the end of each area (Area Rate Score and Area Percent Score). Also record comments as needed.
Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System for Infants and Children, Third Edition (MP3/5)
- Record pertinent program information such as the name of the observer and the program
- Demographic information for the child and family
- Color-coded list of all eight developmental areas and the page numbers on which each area starts
- Directions for completing the form (review all directions carefully and refer to Volume 2 as needed)
Fine Motor Results
- Area Raw Score is the sum of the child’s item scores in the area.
- Area Raw Score Possible is the number of points possible in the area. In the Fine Motor area, the Area Raw Score possible is 62, as shown on the form (31 items × 2 points per item).
- Area Percent Score line is total percent the child scored in relation to the possible score in the area.
Summary graph by area to review child’s results
- Shade in percent scores by area and date to inform review of the child’s performance and identify both areas of improvement and areas for intervention.
