The Autism Screening Instrument for Educational Planning—Third Edition (ASIEP-3) is a valid and reliable measure of autism and related behaviors. It was designed to identify individuals with autism; assist in planning appropriate educational programs for those individuals; monitor performance and progress; and research autism.

Necessary data is collected from five main standardized components:

1.Autism Behavior Checklist — provides a checklist of 47 behaviors typical of autistic individuals for use during the initial screening process

2.Sample of Vocal Behavior — measures four characteristics of the spontaneous speech of children with autism (i.e., repetitiveness, noncommunication, intelligibility, and babbling)

3.Interaction Assessment — measures a child’s spontaneous social responses and reactions to requests

4.Educational Assessment — measures a child’s functioning levels in five areas (i.e., stay in seat, receptive language, expressive language, body concept, and speech imitation)

5.Prognosis of Learning Rate — examines a child’s learning acquisition rate, using a discrete trial-direct instruction format

This revised edition covers normed data for individuals between the ages of 2-0 (2 years 0 months) and 13-11 (13 years 11 months).
