Abstract | The TARC (Topeka Association for Retarded Citizens) Assessment System for Retarded Children is an instrument for determining the skill level of handicapped children and for indicating where remediation should take place. It is designed to provide an educational assessment on which to base precise instructional goals for individuals or a class, and to assess the effects of a particular curriculum on behaviors within a skill domain. The TARC system provides a short-form behavioral assessment of a number of observable skills related to education; self-help, motor, communication, and social skills are represented. It is not intended as a substitute for more comprehensive assessment batteries. The inventory has been standardized on a population of 283 severely handicapped children of both sexes, aged 3-16, and is only reliable with persons within this age range. This population is considered trainable mentally retarded (TMR) or below. The TARC inventory is most discriminative at the lower extremes, and is less sensitive to changes at moderate levels of functioning. It is unreliable with mildly retarded or borderline children. For the standardization sample, the correlation coefficients reported for inter-rater and test-retest reliability range from .59 to .85. (Author/GDC) |
