CLINICAL


On this Evening we went to our PACE CENTER (JONES) to their Computer Lab, in an effort to complete
our Survey of this center's technology resources. Because of evryones work schedule we were unable to arrive at the facility before 6:00pm on last night (September 14, 2010). However we have made arrangement to meet early on our next clinical, scheduled for September 28th, in an effort to complete an assessment on a four-year old child.


Please Note: The child we choose to assess because of confidentiality reasons, we will not be able to give the name of the child. we will use an alien name, and give the results of the assessment. The Assessment that we will conduct is called CPAA, which is basically a short name for " Children's Progress Academic Assessment".


The purpose of this assessment is to screen the children who attend JONES (PACE HEAD START), who are ages 4 to 5. This assessment can go up to Third Graders, but because PACE HEAD START only service Pre-K, this is the only reason we addressed children ages 4 to 5.


The computer lab is not as large as some of the labs in the regular City or County School Districts,
however, the children at this Center is able to able to use technology to develop skills that they may have not been able to otherwise receive, because even in this 21st Century there are so many families who do not own a computer.
