ESI Online Reports and Graphs

Entering the results of a child's social assessment into the Child Data System allows you to track that child's growth in social behaviors relative to normative growth trajectories using the Individual Child Report. (For more information on how we developed these normative growth trajectories, read the ESI Technical Soundness page.) Program Directors can also track the overall growth in social behaviors of all the children in their program using the Full Program Report. Likewise, a Project Director can track growth across several programs using the Full Project Report.

All reports are dynamically created, meaning that the reports always contain the most recently updated data. Details about these reports, including sample reports, are provided below. All sample reports open in a new window.

Individual Child Progress Reports and Graphs

• Child information (e.g., name, birthdate, program, etc.)
• Raw ESI data including date entered and age of child during assessment
• Reliability data
• Graphs that provide visual comparison between indvidual child and normative growth for:
  • Positive Verbal Social Behavior
    • This includes peer-directed, adult-directed, and non-directed social behaviors
  • Positive NonVerbal Social Behavior
    • This includes peer-directed, adult-directed, and non-directed social behaviors
  • Negative Social Behavior
  • Total Social ((Total Positive NonVerbal + Total Positive Verbal) - Negative)/6 minutes)
