Author Description

The Essential for Living Learner Scoring Manual, also called the "EARP" (The Essential Assessment and Record of Progress), permits users of the Essential for Living assessment program to record learner performance on skill assessments and subsequent learner progress on only the essential eight skills that are part of the instrument. Small increments of progress that are part of acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of specific skills can be monitored over a 10-15 year period of time. Progress with respect to problem behaviors and the supports these behaviors require can also be monitored over long periods of time. Each teacher, case manager, speech-language pathologist, or behavior analyst will need an Essential for Living Professional Practitioner's Handbook and each learner will require an Essential for Living 'All Skills' Learner Scoring Manual ("ARP") or an Essential for Living Essential 8 Skills Learner Scoring Manual ("EARP").
