DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Children's Progress, Inc. seeks to develop its on-line dynamic assessment and sensory screening apparatus. The assessment's patented approach presents questions in language arts and mathematics to children in Pre-kindergarten through Second Grade. After correct responses, the assessment moves onto more difficult content; after incorrect responses the assessment represents questions and/or provides hints to scaffold the child. The assessment is designed to identify a child's zone of proximal development of a host of concepts and skills. In addition, the assessment is unique in that it also screens for any potential deficits in vision (color vision, visual acuity) and hearing. Children's Progress, in collaboration with researchers at MIT, have developed new technologies to screen for sensory problems over uncontrolled channels, i.e., the Internet. Moreover, the assessment's innovative reporting mechanism provides teachers and administrators with narrative reports that identify areas of strength and weaknesses and recommended activities, allowing the teacher to target instruction and intervention. The assessment also provides progress reports about an individual child's learning across an academic school year. Children's Progress believes that its technologies have the potential to provide educators with a comprehensive suite of assessment tools never before available at a time when the importance of child-oriented assessment is proving to be critical to ensuring children's academic progress and success. We seek support for the completion of product development for our psychophysics (hearing and vision) assessment and for our language arts and mathematics evaluations.

描述（由申请人提供）：Children's Progress, Inc. 寻求开发其在线动态评估和感官筛查装置。该评估的专利方法向学前班至二年级的儿童提出语言艺术和数学方面的问题。正确回答后，评估将转向更困难的内容；在做出错误反应后，评估会提出问题和/或为孩子提供提示。该评估旨在确定儿童一系列概念和技能的近期发展区域。此外，该评估的独特之处在于它还筛查任何潜在的视力（色觉、视敏度）和听力缺陷。儿童进步组织与麻省理工学院的研究人员合作，开发了新技术，可以通过不受控制的渠道（即互联网）筛查感官问题。此外，评估的创新报告机制为教师和管理人员提供叙述性报告，确定优势和劣势领域以及建议的活动，使教师能够有针对性地进行指导和干预。该评估还提供有关单个孩子整个学年学习情况的进度报告。 Children's Progress 相信，当面向儿童的评估对于确保儿童的学业进步和成功至关重要时，其技​​术有可能为教育工作者提供一套前所未有的全面评估工具。我们寻求支持以完成心理物理学（听力和视力）评估以及语言艺术和数学评估的产品开发。
