- Summary:
-
The paper discusses an ecological model of assessment (i.e., one which examines the interaction between the child and his environment) and how it might be used with emotionally disturbed adolescents. A literature review focuses on current trends in assessment; the origins of the ecological perspective; and the ecological perspective in the school environment, in special education in general, and in the special education of adolescents. Research in the areas of ecological assessment, behavioral-ecological assessment, and behavioral-ecological programing is also reviewed. Some theoretical considerations for an ecological assessment model are discussed, including delineating the primary environments in which the child operates, and determining where there is a "poor fit" between child and environment which has led to the referral. An extended example is used to illustrate the ecological-behavioral assessment of adolescents, using an assessment model that is divided into five major phases: referral, expectations of the child's behavior, behavioral descriptions, summary of data, and establishment of reasonable expectations.
