Description
Identify student strengths, needs, and levels of independence with this Basic Skills Assessment Binder for Special Education. Designed for early childhood, preschool, and students working on Kindergarten–2nd grade functional skills, this assessment helps teachers collect meaningful data across academics, self-care, and independence.
Students are scored using a prompt hierarchy and level of independence, helping you see not only whether a student can complete a skill, but how much support they need.

Risha Jones –
I liked how this assessment focuses on prompt hierarchy and independence. It covers a wide range of life skills and helped me better understand where my students are functionally.

Love this resource! This is great for my ASD Kiddo’s and trying to assess levels over virtual. A simple check mark is all that is needed for a quick assessment!
Remarkarbly Special Resources –
This is hands down one of the best products I have ever bought on TPT. This mini bundle of assessments is perfect for my elementary life skills classroom. The original larger bundle was designed with a secondary classroom in mind but I reached out to Heather and she created this modified version within an hour. I can’t wait to use it this year whether we end up in person or remote to track student progress throughout the year 🙂
