Focuses on 6 different sensory areas! Interactive multi-sensory stimulation kit
expands infant awareness during the first year of life and helps to build
communication and trust between the child and parent, caregiver or therapist.
The value of early sensory stimulation has been firmly established by valid scientific
research and has been shown to significantly raise I.Q. scores. Infant experiences
during early sensory stimulation are stored in memory and become the building
blocks for further learning.
While other infant stimulation kits concentrate on 1 or 2 senses, Baby Booster™
focuses on six different sensory areas: Preceptor Stimulation, Tactile Stimulation,
Auditory Stimulation, Olfactory/Gustatory Stimulation and Vocalization. Special
components and instructions are provided for each area to maximize the skill
building and learning processes.

dynamic interactional principles of testing. Detailed and systematic guidelines for
facilitating performance through the use of cues are provided. The extent to which
performance can be modified with cues provides information that can be directly

A two-part, behavorially-anchored assessment designed to assess how a client may
function in task-oriented and social interactional settings.
The Task Oriented Assessment (TOA) utilizes five tasks in which twelve functional
parameters in cognitive, performance, and affective areas are rated. Observations
about specific cognitive and neuropsychological functioning are made during each
task.
The Social Interaction Scale (SIS) measures the level of social competency through
assessment of seven areas of social functioning via observation in five different
social situations. These situations are observed in activities that are generally part of
any therapeutic milieu program.
The BaFPE™ has been used in inpatient and outpatient settings to evaluate the
functional performance of psychiatric, brain injured, geriatric, or developmentally
disabled adults as well as adolescents in treatment or special education settings. It
can be used for treatment, discharge planning, documentation and outcome studies.
The manual includes reliability and validity studies as well as a bibliography of over
30 publications or research studies, addressing the continued validation of the
BaFPE™ with various populations. The kit includes a loose leaf binder containing a
manual of background information, directions for administering the TOA and the SIS,
administration forms, rating guides and worksheets. Also includes a set of sea shells,
set of design blocks and associated items.
Replacement kit available. Includes 25 copies each of the 11 printed materials
