In this video, Kate Mathany describes how her daughter Getty virtually attends a typical preschool classroom every day using a VGo. In the first part, Kate introduces us to Getty and describes how the idea to use the VGo came about. In the second part, Kate is joined by Eileen Sedilko, Getty's preschool teacher, as they illustrate how Getty's school day works from both home and classroom perspectives. They discuss a range of topics including preschool inclusion, parent leadership, the use of adaptations, collaboration, teamwork, the benefits of inclusion for all children, families, and teachers. This video has important messages for families with children who cannot attend a preschool because of health reasons who are looking for solutions, for all those interested in early childhood inclusion, and for current and future early childhood educators. http://draccess.org/videolibrary/ This is a follow up to the video "Team Lydia Rose."

During the first year of this demonstration initiative, the Desired Results access Project has been collaborating closely with teachers from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). The videos on this page illustrate a variety of ways that teachers at LAUSD have been using digital video to enhance their practices and achieve better outcomes for young children and their families. Check back from time to time as more clips will be added in the future. http://draccess.org/connect/issue013.html Welcome to the latest issue of Connect!, the Desired Results access Project's free e-news blast featuring news, resources, and activities that will help you use the DRDP Assessment System for preschool special education. Please share this issue with your colleagues! http://draccess.org/assessors/tools/DRDPaccess-wall-charts.html The Desired Results Developmental Profile access is an observation-based assessment tool designed to help teachers determine a child�s level of mastery in order to measure developmental progress. Please refer to the DRDP access Manual for instructions on using the instrument and for examples for each Indicator and Measure. The DRDP access wall-chart is designed as a quick reference to the Measures and their Developmental Levels. http://draccess.org/connect/issue012.html Welcome to the latest issue of Connect!, the Desired Results access Project's free e-news blast featuring news, resources, and activities that will help you use the DRDP Assessment System for preschool special education.

News Sources to Keep You Informed http://draccess.org/administrators/RolesAndResponsibilitiesOfIEPteams.html A description of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team's role in documenting the DRDP instrument used with the child and determining which adaptations will be included in the assessment. Includes a worksheet for documenting and describing the child's adaptations. http://draccess.org/assessors/drdpinstruments/UsersGuideDRDP.html Please explore this expanded and updated version of the User's Guide. The Guide contains essential information on how to use the DRDP instruments to observe, assess, and report on the development of preschool children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). http://draccess.org/assessors/guidancefordrdp/AdaptationsHandout.html This document defines the seven adaptations used in the DRDP Assessment System. Please note that the description of the DRDP Adaptation "Augmentative and Alternative Communication System" was revised in May, 2008 to clarify the use of sign language. http://draccess.org/connect/issue008.html http://draccess.org/faqs/Technology.html Receive new resources and updates from Desired Results Access Project http://draccess.org/training/learningmodules.html This module provides an overview of the adaptations that are used with the DRDP instruments for preschool special education. It will help you understand the seven adaptations, how they are used, and how they enable children with IEPs to be most accurately assessed in their typical settings. You can complete this module in about 10 minutes. http://draccess.org/connect/issue007.html http://draccess.org/DevSeq.html The Guide to the Developmental Sequences of the DRDP access describes the developmental sequences that make up the Indicators and Measures of the DRDP access. This research-based guide helps you know what to observe and how to determine a child�s highest level of development when rating the DRDP access. The guide will help you build a solid understanding of the instrument, accurately rate the Measures, and explain a child�s current development to parents and other providers. http://draccess.org/assessors/SimilaritiesAndDifferences.html Beginning September 1, 2009, all new preschool-age children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) will be assessed only with the DRDP access. Many assessors who are experienced in using the PS DRDP-R would like to increase their knowledge of the DRDP access, either to complete the instrument in their role as a special educator, or to collaborate with the special educator in their role as child development teacher. http://draccess.org/training/trainersmaterials.html The resources on this page were developed for qualified trainers (see Read Me First). These resources provide step-by-step instructions and materials for leading a one-day training session on using the DRDP instruments for preschool special education in California. We suggest that you begin by reading the Read Me First document and the front sections of the Trainer's Guide. http://draccess.org/PolicyChange2009.html Beginning September 1, 2009 all new preschool-age children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) will be assessed using only the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) access. This change does not affect preschool-age children with IEPs who were assessed prior to September 1; these children will continue to be assessed with the same instrument that was previously used, whether the DRDP access or the DRDP-R. http://draccess.org/reporting/DRDPdeadlinesPostcard.html This postcard specifies important DRDP Dates for Preschool Special Education for fall and spring. It also includes SEDRS technical support information. http://draccess.org/DevSeq.html The Guide to the Developmental Sequences of the DRDP access describes the developmental sequences that make up the Indicators and Measures of the DRDP access. This research-based guide helps you know what to observe and how to determine a child�s highest level of development when rating the DRDP access. The guide will help you build a solid understanding of the instrument, accurately rate the Measures, and explain a child�s current development to parents and other providers. http://draccess.org/assessors/DRDPaccessConstructMaps.html Construct maps provide a way of looking at the developmental concepts measured by the DRDP access. The construct maps show the Measures of the DRDP access grouped by Indicators. All of the Developmental Levels for each Measure are shown on the construct map and follow a progression from earlier developing to later developing, just like on the DRDP access instrument. You can think of this progression as a ruler with measurements that start at the bottom and go up. http://draccess.org/DevSeq.html The guide can be downloaded as a 90 page (45 sheet) PDF for printing double-sided and binding with a color cover. http://draccess.org/connect/issue006.html Subscribe to our free e-news blast http://draccess.org/assessors/SimilaritiesAndDifferences.html Many assessors who are experienced in using the PS DRDP-R would like to increase their knowledge of the DRDP access, either to complete the instrument in their role as a special educator, or to collaborate with the special educator in their role as child development teacher. This chart provides an at-a-glance comparison of these two instruments. http://draccess.org/families.html Here you will find information about the DRDP Assessment System for families of preschool-age children (3, 4, and 5-year-olds) with IEPs. http://draccess.org/DevSeq.html The Guide to the Developmental Sequences of the DRDP access describes the developmental sequences that make up the Indicators and Measures of the DRDP access. This research-based guide helps you know what to observe and how to determine a child's highest level of development when rating the DRDP access.
