Unable to complete an assessment

Good morning,

I am trying to administer an assessment, however cannot move into the 3 stage of it.  Why do these questions not come up?  I have spent quite a bit of money to download credits and have already used 2 with this one person as I was in front of the client at the time and couldn't waste their time and money.

Thank you

It looks like you are getting stuck on Statements A or B, which are screening questions.  They look 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. If this is the case, you should Edit the assessment and change your response to Statement B. 

The other thing that might be happening is that when you started the assessment and encountered the first screening statement (Statement A), you answered it wrong.  It looks like this:

Statement A: This individual doesn't seem to have real control over their body yet.


The only way I know that he wants something is because he fusses or whines when he's unhappy or uncomfortable, and he smiles, makes noises or calms down when he's happy and comfortable. Does this statement describe this individual?

YES


NO: This stage is beyond this individual's ability

NO: This individual has surpassed this stage

If you answered this question NO: This stage is beyond this individual's ability, then the assessment would stop with no results, since this would imply that the individual has no behaviors that are covered by this assessment.

If this is the case, you should Edit the assessment and change your response to Statement A. 

You should also know that you have 30 days to Finish and/or Edit an assessment after you begin it, without using up additional credits.  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, DO NOT CLICK ON Start a New Assessment

I have had the same issue.  I can not move beyond stage 1.  Were you able to resolve the problem?
