Listen and Collaborate is a great tool. It is very organized and family-friendly beginning with questions about lower level skills in a variety of areas then working up to questions about more complicated skills. The summary part at the end will be a good way for the professionals to review the information to see what to include in the child's program. The completed document will be a big help to parents trying to explain their children to new staff working with them.
