Part 2

I think that this video helped to yet again summarize all of the things that we have been talking about throughout the course of the semester.  By giving an overview of many different assessment tools as well as discussing the importance of these tools and the different aspects of a child which they assess, it helped to pull together the importance of a team effort in regards to helping the child in need.  It stressed that collaboration is key in order to provide the best goals and services for a child in need.  Without collaboration, certain tools would definitely not be implemented correctly and certain areas of a child's development would most certainly be overlooked.  If a person, or team did not address all of the areas of development for the child then some skill would certainly go overlooked and the child could suffer quite a bit for that.  Without teamwork and collaboration, students will suffer and so it is very important for us to remember as the ones doing the assessing to put the children first and not necessarily our own egos.  By putting the child first we can ensure that we are serving them to the best of our abilities and providing them with all that they may need in regards to services.
