Early Childhood Preference Assessment A preference assessment is a way to determine what the child likes and how much they like it. Preference assessments may be informal, such as observing the child in the natural environment, or may be structured, such as a trial-based preference assessment. When several items are presented together, a formal preference assessment can identify a hierarchy of what the child prefers. Highly preferred items can be used to help teach difficult skills, including new social, language, and academic skills, while less preferred items can be used to help maintain a mastered skill.
