Course Description
Functional Emotional Assessment: Using the Functional Emotional Assessment Scale (FEAS) to assess a child's functional emotional capacities
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:
The full range of emotional functioning of infants, young children, and their families.
Naturally occurring emotional interactions between infants, children, and caregivers in a variety of settings, including home and school.
Both easily observable emotional behaviors and the subtle, more difficult to measure, deeper levels of emotional functioning.
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)

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.
