The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised (ABLLS-R)
Presented by Callie Terry
What is the ABLLS-R?
• Based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis
• Measures kindergarten readiness
• Criterion-Referenced Assessment• Measures how well a student performs against an
objective or criterion rather than another student.
• Measures 544 skills from 25 skill domains (i.e., skill areas or skill categories)

Ablls-R Excel Grid
Each Vertical Column represents 1 Skill Domain
544 Skills
• Each Skill Domain is broken down into individual skills
• For example, let’s look at Skill Domain G: Labeling
Skill Domain G: Labeling
• Skill Domain G is broken down into 47 individual skills
• These skills are identified by both the domain letter and the skill number, for example:• G1, G2, G3, G4…G45, G46, G47
• Each skill is unique, for example:• G1: Labels Reinforcers
• G2: Labels Common Objects
• G3: Labels Common People
• G4: Labels Pictures of Common Objects
• etc.
Ablls-R Excel Grid
The rows within a column represent individual skills in that skill domain
Scoring
• Each skill has a maximum score that varies from one skill to the next. The maximum score is always either a 1, a 2, or a 4.
• For skills with a maximum score of 1, the child either exhibits the skill or not (all or nothing)
• For skills with a maximum score of 2, the child may score a 0, a 1, or a 2.
• For skills with a maximum score of 4, the child may score a 0, 1, 2, 3, or a 4.
• The score DOES NOT tell you how important the skill is. For example, a skill with a maximum score of 4 is not a “better” skill than a skill with a maximum score of 2.
