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:
โ€ฃ The full range of emotional functioning of infants, young children, and their families.
โ€ฃ Naturally occurring emotional interactions between infants, children, and caregivers in a variety of settings, including home and school.
โ€ฃ 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.
