Wrap-Up

To bring closure to this session, take time to reflect on key ideas and respond to the Challenge Question posed during Set-Up. Download the Reflection Journal located in the callout box to the right and take a moment to jot notes to yourself on what you have learned about the 7-point scale.

In your reflection, respond to these questions:

• What does your program use to identify where a child is on the 7-point scale? For example, do you use numbers or descriptors statements, or both?
• Describe a child who shows age-expected functioning in the area of Positive Social Relationships (Outcome 1) in one situation and not another. Which ratings would be applicable to a child like this?
• Consider the criteria for each of the ratings. Are there any that you are having an especially difficult time understanding and why?
• A child’s functioning was rated as a 3 upon entry into the program. When he leaves the program a year later, he is also functioning at a rating of 3. Has this child made progress? Why or why not? (If you are not able to figure out the answer to this question, don't worry! It will be covered in Session 8.)

Now that you have taken some time to reflect on the session content, take a moment to answer the Challenge Question for yourself.
