Course Description

It can also be adapted for use with older children and young people with learning differences. It is derived from the TEACCH  programme and provides a valid educational and clinical measure of a child’s abilities.

This third edition provides information for planning effective educational programmes and making diagnostic decisions. The PEP-3 is designed for use by teachers, psychologists and allied health professionals.
