The HELP Strands 0-3 offer a key developmental assessment framework where the HELP skills are "stranded" by interrelated concepts and make it easier for identifyand target of "next steps"-an important companion assessment record booklet to Inside HELP. The HELP 0-3 skills/behaviors are grouped into 59 developmental-sequenced "strands" for better ongoing developmental assessment and planning of next steps. The Spanish version is 36 pages. Inside HELP is required for the proper use of HELP 0-3 as a curriculum-based assessment and to ensure accurate crediting of skills and behaviors with fidelity. Format Note: The HELP Strands 0-3 come in two format options, each containing the exact same content: #158 is a 32-page bound booklet; #158-U comes as eight Unbound 4-page sections, each section covering just one domain for easier multidisciplinary team assessment (each section has child ID/date headers; sections are not sold separately and may not be copied in any form.) Benefits: The HELP Strands 0-3 help you meet Part C of IDEA, and Early Head Start, regulations for ongoing assessment. Skills within each strand are developmentally sequenced. Each strand includes HELP skills which focus upon a specific underlying key concept and are hierarchical in nature; i.e., one skill leads to or builds the foundation for the next skill. Each Strand focuses on key underlying concepts-developmental levels, strengths, and needs within each traditional domain can be easily identified for curriculum assessment and strategic planning.
