In the administration manual for the Cooper Screening Tool, you will find for each section covered in the tool:
  • the purpose for each area of questioning
  • what to look for in the learners' responses (how they respond, verbal and non verbal communication)
  • special considerations ( adaptations that can be made and/or responses you will expect to see regarding particular questions that provide significant evidence for potential learning disabilities)

There is no training required to use the Cooper Screening Tool, however since it is quite comprehensive it may take some practice before a practitioner is fully comfortable with administering the tool.
