1 Student Record Booklet (1 booklet per student being tested)

If you have a middle school age student or teen and are desiring to plan for transitioning from home education to post-secondary education, such as the workforce, community college, or even perhaps a young adult assisted living situation, then you may find this assessment kit to be extremely beneficial. This test is designed for older students and as the name suggests, it assesses daily living and employability skills to help middle and high school students gain independence. Additionally, this kit assesses the student's basic listening and speaking skills, functional writing skills, and math skills. It also has a section on career interests and choices. This assessment will be particularly helpful if you have a struggling teen or one who most likely will not be university minded.

This test is not standardized/norm-referenced, so it does not meet most state's standardized testing requirements. For standardized testing information and a list of commonly used standardized tests, click here.

Refund policy: Refunds are not available on Brigance rentals.

I acknowledge and agree that:

HSLDA may collect additional fees up to the replacement cost ($199.00) of the test if the test is lost, damaged, or returned late.

I must return the test within ten (10) days of receiving it if testing one child, or within fourteen (14) days if testing more than one child.

I am responsible for shipping and handling costs when returning the test kit.

I am responsible for scoring the test and should not return the student record book(s) to HSLDA.

Back-ordered tests will be shipped as soon as a test kit becomes available.

Who can rent the tests?
	The Brigance tests may be rented by HSLDA members only. If you are homeschooling and are not yet a member, you are welcome to join for access to the Brigance tests and support from HSLDA's educational consultants. Brigance tests are also available for purchase on CurriculumAssociates.com
How long can I keep the test? Can I have it longer to test multiple children?
	You may keep the test for ten (10) days from the time you receive it. If you are testing multiple children, you may keep the test for fourteen (14) days. Please speak with Tiffany Mackey to make arrangements, in advance, if you need an extension.
What are the tests for and which test should I use?
	Brigance tests are used by parents and professionals to determine what skills a child has or has not mastered. These tests are used routinely in public and private schools to develop student goals and objectives. The following Brigance tests are available for rent to HSLDA members:
		Yellow Brigance assessment kit: Inventory of Early Development II (2010 updated version) For birth to developmental age 7. This test assesses the following skills: gross motor, fine motor, speech and language, general knowledge, readiness, basic reading, manuscript writing, and basic math skills. You can administer the entire test or choose specific sections that are appropriate for your child.
		Green Brigance assessment kit: Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills II (2010 updated version) For pre-kindergarten through ninth grade level. This test provides grade placement tests in several areas such as word recognition, oral reading, reading comprehension, listening, spelling, writing and language mechanics, number sense and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability. You can administer the entire test or choose specific sections that are appropriate for your child.
		Blue Brigance assessment kit: Transition Skills Inventory For older students. This test assesses daily living and employability skills to help middle and high school students gain independence.
Can I use the Brigance test to fulfill my state's testing requirements?
	The Brigance assessment kits HSLDA rents out to members are not standardized/norm-referenced assessments, so they may not meet your state's standardized testing requirement. To see your state's requirements for testing (if any), click here.
Do you grade the test?
	Student record books are graded by the parents and should be maintained in your homeschool file. Please do not send in your child's student booklet when you return the test.
If I rent multiple tests at one time, can I keep the tests longer?
	No. If you would like to rent multiple tests and don't think you will be able to complete both tests in the normal testing period, we suggest you rent the tests at separate times. This will allow you more time to complete each test.
Are the Brigance tests only for children with special needs?
	No! Public and private schools often administer the Brigance tests to children with IEPs, but these tests can be beneficial for all students, including gifted learners. They are especially useful for parents who are new to homeschooling and not sure where to begin or for veteran homeschoolers looking for an informal, in-depth assessment to determine subject mastery or grade placement.
