Are you aware of your child’s strengths and learning gaps?
Is your child’s IEP not addressing his or her learning gaps?
Will you and your support team benefit from knowing all your child’s learning gaps?
Meet Gaptify, a diagnostic assessment designed to measure your students’ strengths and learning gaps in math, reading, and language art.
Special education (SPED) students have IEPs to support their learning challenges, but these IEPs don’t often address learning gaps when it comes to standards-based content. In fact, many SPED students’ learning strengths and gaps go unnoticed due to a focus on their other needs.
Diagnostic assessments that are able to specifically identify standards where students with disabilities struggle, can help parents, tutors, and teachers tailor curriculum to meet a student’s individual needs.
By pinpointing a student’s learning gaps, all stakeholders can better understand how they can help students to close these gaps while concurrently supporting their IEP goals.
Students who have been identified as having a special learning disability or need qualify for additional support services at school. While some parents may be hesitant to “label” their student with a disability, these supports can help students thrive.
IDEA is a federal program designed to support students with learning disabilities or disorders. To qualify for coverage under this act, a student’s academic performance must be “adversely affected” by one or more of the 13 disability categories defined by IDEA:
Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or any other condition that hinders a student’s ability to read, write, reason, listen, speak, or do math
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, Anxiety disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia, or Bipolar disorder
Cerebral Palsy or any other condition that impacts a child’s ability to function physically
ADHD or other conditions restricting student’s strength, energy, or level of alertness
Down syndrome or other disabilities that significantly impact a child’s ability to communicate or socialize
While broad by definition, characterizing a student’s special needs to one or more of these 13 categories helps educators determine the course of action that might best support his or her individual needs.
The severity in which students are impacted varies immensely from child to child. Some may be able to excel in a general classroom without significant intervention, while others may require more personalized attention.
For this very reason, properly assessing students with special education needs is vital to supporting their overall academic growth.
A research-based, online assessment tool for today’s students.
Gaptify identifies specific skills and practices that individual students need to master in order to be proficient in their grade-level standards. The concise assessment adapts to the level of the tester and focuses on identifying both strengths and areas of concern.
Gaptify was developed in partnership with classroom teachers and education experts, and designed to be administered directly to students in grades K-12.
The tool captures valuable insights used to personalize an improvement plan specific to students’ individual needs. The learning plan enables students to make significant improvements not only in their understanding of, but also in their retention of critical concepts.
Our diagnostic assessment can be administered online, anytime and from anywhere, with most results available immediately. In fact, Gaptify remains one of the only assessments that can be administered remotely.
In addition to this swift turnaround, innovative technology captures valuable data to help educators develop a more robust, individualized learning plan for each student.
Gaptify adapts to the specific knowledge level of each tester, changing the difficulty of questions and reading passages based on tester responses.
As a result, Gaptify can pinpoint learning gaps and offer educators a stronger understanding of areas in which a student excels and areas in need of improvement through intervention.
Our reports are based solely on each student’s individual performance. Reports include the number of questions answered correctly, standards where a student displayed strength, and standards where a student needs to improve.
Some features only available on premium reports.
