Functional Emotional Assessment: Using the Functional Emotional Assessment Scale (FEAS) to assess a child's functional emotional capacities

The Functional Emotional Assessment Scale, published by ICDL and authored by Stanley Greenspan, Georgia DeGangi, & Serena Wieder, enables clinicians, educators, and researchers to observe and measure emotional and social functioning in infants, young children, and their families. Historically, the complexity of emotional functioning has been difficult to measure and assess. The FEAS meets this longstanding need of the field. The FEAS conceptualizes, operationalizes, and measures in a reliable and valid manner:

This course will supplement the FEAS book to guide practitioners on how to practically use the FEAS tool.  This is a practical application course that takes the knowledge in the book and helps clinicians administer, score, and report on the FEAS. 

Pre-requisite: DIR 101. This course is best suited for those that have earned at least a Basic DIRFloortime certificate (DIR 201) with a minimum requirement of having completed the introductory course (DIR 101) 

Learning Objectives

Agenda

Module One (Hours 1-2)

Introducing the FEAS: Explaining the conceptualization, research, purpose, and overall function of the FEAS tool. 

Module Two (Hours 3-4)

FEAS Administration:  A detailed explanation of how to administer the FEAS.

Module Three (Hours 5-6)

All participants can request a Certificate of Attendance documenting hours of participation and available professional continuing education credits at the time of registration. Please note that continuing education credit is only provided for direct seat time. Course preparation including readings, lectures, and mentoring is not included in the CE hour or credit total. This course is a live online course and participants must log in individually to the online classroom, following the instructions provided by ICDL and with their camera on, so there is a record of each participant's attendance individually. If participants join in a room with a group, each participant must still log in on their own device so ICDL can see each participant and verify each individual's login and log out of the online classroom. Participants must attend the entire course to get CE credit. Partial credit is not an option.

Art Therapists

According to the ATR-BC Recertification Standards, ICDL training programs that are approved by one of the other national continuing education boards listed on this page, may be eligible for Art Therapy continuing education credit. These standards state, "CECs will be accepted for all courses or events that fit in the ATCB Eligible Content Areas and that are presented or approved by any of the following art therapy, mental health, or behavioral sciences entities: state licensing authority, national professional organization, or national credentialing body for continuing education credit." It is the responsibility of each participant to determine if an ICDL program qualifies or not. ICDL is not an approved ATR-BC continuing education provider and as such can not award ATR-BC continuing education credits directly.  However, we are approved by organizations like NBCC which may meet the above-quoted standard.
