However, it might include measures of socio-emotional functioning, executive functioning, screening tools for several disorders (e.g., mood disorders, anxiety disorders autism spectrum disorder, etc.)

Academic Assessment (Single Administration) 

Academic assessments include all steps listed above, except that test administration does not include measures of cognitive functioning, socio-emotional functioning, or executive functioning. The test battery in an academic assessment includes a measure of academic achievement such as the WIAT-3, the WRAT, WJ-IV, or other measures of academic achievement deemed necessary. 

Academic Assessment (Pre and Post intervention)

This test-retest strategy is used to track the student’s response to academic intervention. We use a measure of academic achievement prior to the student start receiving interventions and then after a period in which practice effects are minimized and unlikely to affect the reliability and validity of the assessment.
