The trend in special educational assessment and programming has changed from IQ based grouping to functional
level based grouping without compromising on age appropriate programming. Any educational assessment tool should
ideally lead to appropriate programming for the child. It should also provide inbuilt periodic evaluation facility for monitor-
ing progress and modifying programme. The tool also should provide for qualitative and quantitative measurement of the
child's progress. It should also help in homogeneously grouping children and provide for promotion of children objectively
to next level. The items listed in the tool should be such that they are (1) easy to understand, (2) activities necessary for
daily living, (3) easily observable, (4) age appropriate as far as possible, (5) ultimately contribute to living competently in
the society.
Often times the special teachers have expressed that maintaining detailed assessment and programming records of
each mentally retarded child is time consuming. In addition, many efficient special teachers find it difficult to write lengthy
records due to their poor ability to express in English. Many schools do accept writing in local language or Hindi, which
poses problem to other teachers who do not know these languages. With the intention to fmd sol tion to this situation and
to provide for easy assessment and recording procedures the Department of Special Education at NIMH has developed
educational assessment checklists for children from preprimary to prevocational levels.
Gronping of students
Grouping is done based on the ability and chronological age into different levels such as Preprimary, Primary-I,
Primary- II, Secondary, Prevocational-I, Prevocational-Il, and Care group. The details are given below.
Preprimary:
This group consists of children between 3-6 years of age. The coverage of content in the areas of personal, social,
and academic is more than with occupational area in this level.
Primary-I:
Students who achieve 80% of the items in preprimary checklist are promoted to Primary-I level and the age of the
students entering in this class may be 7 years approximately. In some cases the students may continue one more year in
Preprimary to fulfil the pass criteria (For example, if a student who is 7 years has achieved about 60% on evaluation in
primary checklist he may continue in the same class for a longer time and see whether he/she can achieve the said pass
criteria, ie., 80%).
Primary-I!:
The students who do not achieve 80% of the items in the checklist in Preprimary level even alter 8 years of age are
placed in Primary-Il. The content in the academic area is minimal for this group. This group covers ciildren from 8-14
years. When they achieve 80% of the items in the Primary-Il checklist they are promoted to Prevocational-Il. In some
cases they may achieve 80% before the ag of 14 years and may be promoted to Secondary group.
Secondary group:
This group includes students between 11-14 years. It is a mixed group (ie., students promoted from both Primary I
& II). Students on achieving 80% of the items in this class including the items in academic area will be promoted to
Prevocational-I and those with inappropriate items excluded in academic area will be promoted to Prevocational-Il.
Prevocatjonaj.J & II:
Both the groups consist of students in the age group 15-18 years. The primary focus of training is on preparing tu-
dents in basic work skills amd domestic activities. Hence the major content covered in the checklist arc in the areas of oc-
cupational, social, and academics. However, the content coverage under academic area will be minimal or need based for
Prevocational-Il group of students.
Mentally retarded persons over 18 years will be sent to vocational training units with their summative evaluation
reports for further programming. This curriculum chaecklist does not cover the vocational area.
Care group:
This group includes children with very low ability (bed ridden-profoundly retarded) and the items in the checklist
focus on trianing them in performing partially, the basic skills such as drinking, eating, toileting, and basic meaningful motor
movements and communication. If they continue to stay nonambulatory as the age advances, the parent! caretaker may find
it difficult to bring the child to school. In such cases, simultaneously preparation of caretaker for maintaining learned skills
is necessary. It is good to have the children of this group distributed one each in each class starting from prevocational
group. This would provide a stimulating environment for them. However, they should be assessed using care group check-
list, irrespective of in which group they are placed.
Note: 1. The checklists are pinned groupwise so that the respective class teacher can have the checklist relevant to the
group she/he teaches. Remove the clip and separate the checklists of eachgroup to use by the class teacher.
2. A Progress report is provided along with the checklists to record progress and send to parents periodically.
Ideally, have the term evaluation done before the vacations and sendprogress reports home with the children
for parents' information.
3. A Brief teaching plan of activities can be written every term for each child in the programme planning sheet
like the one provided at the end of the guidelines.

Content of the checklists
As the child's interaction in the society gradually expands from self to immediate family, neighbourhood and com-
munity at large, the areas to be trained are grouped under the following headings! or areas or domains: Personal, Social,
Academic, Occupational and Recreational. As far as possible, all the items listed are activity based so that setting teaching
goals and evaluation are easy. The terms such as Self-help, Social, Communication, Motor are avoided and each item is
listed is an activity. This is because, an activity cuts across more than one skill area. For instance, 'Feeds self includes
motor skill, self-help skill, communication (asking for more/less) and social skill. Further an activity is easier to observe
and measure the progress in each item iead to compentency in that given area. As the sequencing of items proceeds from
self needs to family and ultimately the larger community the ultimate aim of special education - the social competency in
living in community independently will be achieved. Though the items are a continuuum of activities, the checklist is
divided in such a way as to suit the chronological age of the students and they provide for easy grouping of the students.
Format
The format is so designed that the programmer can enter assessment information (entry level) and the progress pe-
riodically (at every quarter) for about three academic years, as it is assumed that a student stays a maximum of 3 years in
a given level, Further, the codes to grade the performance level of students on initial assessment and periodic evaluation
are given. The details are seen under the head 'Using the checklist'. At the end a table is given t note the progress of
individual child in all the areas periodically after evaluation which may be transferred directly on to a progress report.
Scoring
Items marked 'Yes' (or +) are counted as a point, while the others such as PP, VP, NE are noted but not counted
for points. As the ultimate aim is that of achieving independence in a given activity area, those activities the child performs
independently or with occasional Cueing only will be considered for quantifying into scores. The items marked NA are
deleted from the total items to be -learned while calculating percentage. Similarly, specific items added should be included
for calculating percentage. Achievement of 80% of items in the checklist will be considered for promotion from one level
to the next higher level. For example, the children who achieve 80% of the items in preprimary checklist will be promoted
to the primary level.
Further, there may be occasions where a child may not meet the criteria even after three years. Find out in which
specific areas he has problem and what it is due to. such as motor impairment or inability to learn academics due to his
relatively lower mental ability. Seeing to the suitability of the item to the given child the teacher may use her judgement
to delete the item while calculating 80% pass criteria. It is however, cautioned here that poor teaching should not reflect
on the child's lack of progress or inability to learn.
If a student achieves 80% of the activity he will be considered to have pass in that particular activity. As described
in the level of performance, if a child gets the score 'C' (occasional cues) in a particular activity, it may be the pass criteria
of that particular activity and the strengthening of that particular activity will be continued in the next level. The teacher
may mention those items which need to be strengthened in the progress report.
It is seen that the system followed here is very close to the regular school system where the children's progress is
periodically monitored, quantified and promotions or detentions made very objectively. To promote normalization and
mainstreaming such an approach of assessment leading to programming, is envisaged. Further, the class grouping are
named as prepriinary, primary, secondary and prevocational to match the regular education nomenclature.
As each item in the chekclist is an activity by itself it reduces the burden of formulating objectives for teaching.
Whatever may be the skill domain, if a teacher plans all her curricula based on activities the teaching becomes more func-
tion oriented and meaningful. The Department of Special Education is in the process of developing handbooks for teaching
the listed activities for each level which, it is hoped will further assist the teachers in effective teaching. It is also observed
that the mentally retarded children do exhibit certain challenging behaviours, which become the responsibilityof the teacher
to manage the behaviours in the class room. While reporting on development of social competencies,the teacher may write
precisely the description of challenging behaviour, when it occurs, for how long it is exhibited and/or how frequently it oc-
ccurs. With effective classroom management the behaviours are bound to come down and the teacher may report that
descriptively during each of the quarterly review.
