Abstract

The necessity of evaluating adult perceptions of children's developmental capabilities gains in importance when one considers both the emerging research on expectancy and learning as well as the trend toward multi-source nondiscriminatory assessment as a basis for individualized program planning. This paper presents an adaptation of Iscoe and Payne's Functional Classification System which focuses upon profiling the differential subjective impressions of adults who interact with handicapped and non-handicapped preschoolers. A brief description of the profile is presented as well as its role in the screening, assessment, intervention, evaluation sequence. Preliminary research data on the measure's reliability and practicality are also cited.
