You are probably  getting stuck on one of the screening questions, most likely the second one, Statement B. It looks like this:

Statement B

My child has control over her own behaviors, but she doesn't use them to try to communicate to me.

She doesn't come to me to let me know what she wants, but it's easy for me to figure out, because she tries to do things for herself. She knows what she wants, and her behavior shows me what she wants. If she runs out of something to eat, she will just try to get more, rather than trying to get me to give her more.

Does this statement describe your child?

     YES

     NO this stage is beyond this individual's ability

     NO my child has surpassed this stage


It is easy to misread the answers to this question. If you select YES, you will be taken to Level 2 questions/answers. If you select NO, this stage is beyond this individual's ability, the assessment will END because this implies that your client has no further skills that are addressed by this assessment. If you select NO, my child has surpassed this stage, you will be taken to a 3rd screening question to probe whether higher level skills are present.

I suspect that you chose NO, this stage is beyond this individual's ability in error, so the assessment stopped.

You should also know that you may Edit an assessment until it has been finished, without using up additional credits. Furthermore, once it has been finished, you have an additional 30 days to edit it further. So, there is no need to use another assessment credit while you are still working on the same assessment. When you try to do this assessment again, just click on Finish or Edit, NOT Start a New Assessment (which would use another credit).

We hope this answers your question,
