Quickly Screen Students for Dyscalculia or MLD in an RTI Model
Derived from the FAM, a comprehensive assessment of mathematics designed to examine the underlying neurodevelopmental process that support the acquisition of proficient math skills, the FAM Screening Form allows you to quickly screen for dyscalculia and math learning disabilities and to identify the needs of at-risk students.
Features and benefits
- Designed to identify children at risk for dyscalculia or a math learning disability (MLD) within an RTI delivery system model.
- Measures the underlying cognitive and quantitative processes that underscore the development of mathematical achievement in a manner that best informs decisions about appropriate interventions.
- Comprises three subtests—one from the Procedural Index (Sequences [SEQ]), one from the Verbal Index (Linguistic Math Concepts [LMC]), and one from the Semantic Index (Number Comparison [NCO]). These subtests were selected as the best representation of each domain based on clinical research and statistical analysis.
- Yields a single index score that indicates risk for dyscalculia or an MLD.
- Intended to assist users in deciding whether the risk of dyscalculia or an MLD is high enough to warrant further assessment.
- Takes just 30 minutes to administer and score; scoring is also available 24/7 via PARiConnect, our online assessment platform.
- In-Person e-Stimulus Books and Kits are convenient, more hygienic alternatives to paper administration that allow you to administer the FAM Screening Form face-to-face via tablet. Please download our white paper prior to administering.
- If you are working within an RTI model or other treatment scenarios in which you wish to track progress over time, the Reliable Change Report can prove useful. After you administer the FAM-SF more than one time to the same examinee (we recommend at least 30 days apart), you can track changes in performance for each subtest and index score. To generate a Reliable Change Report digitally, first enter your item responses into PARiConnect and then run a Score Report. The second step is to generate a no-cost "Reliable Change" report. If you are hand scoring, page 4 of the Examiner Record Form provides space to calculate reliable change by hand.
