COURSE DESCRIPTION

The NIH Toolbox provides scores that are comparable across a broad range of age and ability levels, making it uniquely suited for use in lifespan assessment and evaluation of disorders covering an extensive spectrum of severity. Comprised of four 30-minute batteries (Cognition, Motor, Emotion, Sensation), the core suite of measures can be administered in two hours or less. All measures were evaluated for accessibility and cultural and ethnic applicability, and have demonstrated good reliability and validity. The NIH Toolbox was normed using a US Census matched sample of 4,859 participants (English and Spanish speaking), ages 3-85. Through this interactive course, we discuss the science behind the NIH Toolbox as well as how to select, administer, score, and interpret NIH Toolbox measures. Participants will then be given hands-on experience using the NIH Toolbox iPad app on iPads provided by us. We welcome questions and discussion during the workshop.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Describe the advantages of modern psychometric test theory applications in assessment
  2. Select and administer specific NIH Toolbox® measures using the iPad app
  3. Describe the advantages of using Item Response Theory (IRT) and Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) in assessment
  4. Manage, score, and interpret results from administration of NIH Toolbox® measures
  5. Discuss advantages and limitations of NIH Toolbox® use in rehabilitation clinical and research settings
