- 1. The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills- Revised (ABLLS-R) Presented by Callie Terry
- 2. What is the ABLLS-R? • Based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis • Measures kindergarten readiness • Criterion-Referenced Assessment • Measures how well a student performs against an objective or criterion rather than another student. • Measures 544 skills from 25 skill domains (i.e., skill areas or skill categories)

- 5. Ablls-R Excel Grid Each Vertical Column represents 1 Skill Domain
- 6. 544 Skills • Each Skill Domain is broken down into individual skills • For example, let’s look at Skill Domain G: Labeling
- 7. Skill Domain G: Labeling • Skill Domain G is broken down into 47 individual skills • These skills are identified by both the domain letter and the skill number, for example: • G1, G2, G3, G4…G45, G46, G47 • Each skill is unique, for example: • G1: Labels Reinforcers • G2: Labels Common Objects • G3: Labels Common People • G4: Labels Pictures of Common Objects • etc.
- 8. Ablls-R Excel Grid The rows within a column represent individual skills in that skill domain
- 9. Scoring • Each skill has a maximum score that varies from one skill to the next. The maximum score is always either a 1, a 2, or a 4. • For skills with a maximum score of 1, the child either exhibits the skill or not (all or nothing) • For skills with a maximum score of 2, the child may score a 0, a 1, or a 2. • For skills with a maximum score of 4, the child may score a 0, 1, 2, 3, or a 4. • The score DOES NOT tell you how important the skill is. For example, a skill with a maximum score of 4 is not a “better” skill than a skill with a maximum score of 2.
