Description
Basic Concepts Skill Screener (BCSS) is a quick, motivational screening tool created to help assess the basic concept skills in children. Designed by certified speech-language pathologists, BCSS uses technology to engage clients while assessing their school readiness skills. Perfect for all levels from preschool to early elementary, BCSS assesses the concept skills needed for pre-reading and math skills. The Basic Concepts Skills Screener is sure to be a great app for the busy speech-language pathologist, teacher, parent, or caregiver.
Purpose
The Basic Concepts Skills Screener (BCSS) was developed for the purpose of evaluating and describing the basic concepts skills of children. An understanding of basic concepts is foundational for students to follow directions and develop reading and math skills. The BCSS is individually administered to establish a baseline of basic concepts that are in error.
The BCSS explores a child’s knowledge of spatial (location), quantitative (number), comparative (description), and temporal (time) concepts. Basic concepts strengthen vocabulary and are critical for understanding early curriculum (Seifert & Schwartz, 1991). By the time a child starts first grade, he or she should have an understanding of the majority of these concepts (McLaughlin, 1998). Children need a thorough understanding of basic concepts to make comparisons, classify, problem solve, and sequence. Children who do not understand basic concepts will most likely struggle not only with day-to-day academic activities such reading and math, but with extra-curricular activities such as playing sports (Boehm, 2013). Early recognition and remediation of a child’s struggle with basic concepts may reduce the educational impact.
The Basic Concepts Skills Screener can be used to:
•Collect information regarding an individual’s basic concept skills
•Supplement data of a standardized language assessment
•Measure treatment effectiveness and skill growth over time
•Compare a student’s performance to students at same grade level
•Help educators and clinician choose areas of skill development to target for Response to Intervention
•Aid with determining how a student may perform on classroom assessments and outcomes
•Aid in the determination of a language delay or disorder
•Identify students who may be at risk for a learning disorder
How to Use
BSCC is designed for single player assessment. From the home page the facilitator has the option of adding a student, administering a screening, going to the support area, or going to the reports area. When a student has been entered or selected, and new test has been selected, the facilitator has the choice of administering the Full Screening or the Quick Screening. The full screening, 79 questions, takes 10-15 minutes. The quick screening has 30 questions and takes approximately 5 minutes. Both screenings assess concepts at a variety of ages.
When administering the screening, each concept request is presented with four pictures showing possible answers. A tap of the picture marks the child’s answer with a square border. When the “next” button is tapped, a new screen is shown with a new concept and picture choices. An answer must be provided on every screen. At any time, a tap on the done button will terminate the session and bring the user to the report center.

BecSLP,
A must-have for your toolkit
I work with ages 3-7 in a school setting and frequently use this app for progress monitoring and as part of the assessment process in combination with other tests. The “long” version is comprehensive and the auto-generated reports are a huge plus! They are easily emailed and sync with the Therapy Report Center, which helps me keep my data in one place. The only small suggestion is that the quick screener could be improved by being slightly more age-specific (e.g. one for 3-4 year olds and one for 5-6 year olds). It is still very useful as it is now, just a minor suggestion :)
Great app great intervention!,

Use as pre-post baseline &/or performance assessment for goal/objectives. I appreciate collected data in a reader friendly report for immediate share. I use frequently & glad to have this app, thank you creators & developers.
Racing wife,
Love it
I use BCSS to keep track and measure the progress my kids have made over time. I don't track the individual concepts they have mastered, but rather their overall score on the screening. This lets me know if they're learning and retaining the general information. If I worked in a school I would probably use it as a screener. It doesn't have normed scores so I can't use it as a qualifying measure, but that's not how it was advertised anyway.
MissDtheSLP,
BCSS Ap Review
I LOVE this Ap. I work in a low income school with a high turn over rate of kiddos that transition in/out of my school. This Ap has been a great for me to collect baseline data on new kiddos as they enter my school. The kids enjoy answering the questions and are motivated to answer more. I like the quick screener for my pre-k kiddos due to attention span. I try to get my kindergarteners to complete the full screener. The only thing I'd change about this ap is-- I wish you could pause your "session" and continue. You must finish each "test" or redo to whole thing. I absolutely love the detailed reports that the Ap writes and parents love them too! I also love that the report includes the norms for typically developing peers. I use this ap all the time and it's a great way to collect baseline data on new kiddos-- or any kiddos working on goals with emebedded concepts.
Ak 99669,
BCSS is helpful for screening concepts
However, I have a problem with one of the items. The children are standing in line to get a drink of water but are facing away from the fountain. The child is supposed to find the child at the end of the line. Generally, the person at the end of the line where the children are facing forward is the last one. Instead this item's correct answer is the child farthest away from the fountain. It took two SLPs to figure out the correct answer! Also, midway through the complete screen the "reinforcer" star stayed put on the page and was there through the rest of the screening test. Don't know if it would happen if I tried again. Great idea for an app though!
PreKDK,
Nice screener
This is a great way to quickly gauge where my kids are at as we start a new year of therapy. It tells how they have done compared to their age group, but it would be nice if it separated out the skills missed by age group also.
