This presentation by Dr. Ozonoff I feel serves as a pretty good summary of everything that we have discussed in class up to date.  Just as we have done in previous classes, Dr. Ozonoff has touched upon many different tools used for assessment and the ways in which they can help any given assessment.  It is very important to recognize that she points out the great importance in having a very well rounded team in order to complete a thorough assessment of a child.  It would make no sense for a BCBA to provide an assessment on medical needs just as it would make no sense for a teacher to complete the assessment on the speech and language skills of the child.  It is key that the child's different areas of assessment be completed by those who know the field best, the ones that have the most formal training.  


In regards to how the FBA fits into the assessment picture, I believe that it serves as yet another useful tool.  Without having the proper behavior protocol in place for a child, one cannot hope to complete a more thorough assessment of a child's skills and abilities, especially when one or more problem behaviors are present.


I think the best way for educator's to bridge clinical assessments and classroom practices is to use what the assessments have provided and play up a student's strengths.  When you can recognize a student's strengths you can use those to your advantage to help further a student in other areas which they might be struggling in.  It can also help you build momentum in regards to simple matters such as compliance if the student has difficulty with such things.
