Open Barriers Checklist

When

  • Alongside each Milestones assessment.
  • Planning which barriers to address first.

Why

  • Raters agree only moderately on barriers (Montallana et al., 2019), so a second-rater option is built in.
  • Use it to plan, not to measure outcomes: in research, Barriers totals didn’t track Vineland problem-behavior scores.

How

  1. Open Barriers Checklist with the learner selected and tap New assessment.
  2. Tap a score from 0 to 4 for each barrier. Tap it again to clear it.

Saved to the dashboard: Your score for each barrier, per assessment date. The dashboard shows the latest total (lower means fewer barriers) and rater agreement.
