Is there a Spanish version of PowerPath?


Some parts of PowerPath don't require reading:
vision/hearing sceening
spatial visualization/orientation

I sometimes use part of PP for an intial screening to see if the student 
needs the full PP.

I ask the student to 
write (or print) his/her name (from PP), address, phone number, social 
security number.
say and then write the alphabet (from PP).
say and then write days of week and months of yeart (from PP).

Students seem to know numbers better than letters. I ask them to write 
numbers from 1 to 20 or 100, depending on what I think the student can 
accomplish successfully.

If the screener knows a little of the native language, some of these 
screening techniques could give some information.
