About this manual

The Gander Instruction Manual is organized into four parts—The Gander Explained, Know Your Boat, Know Your Song, and Know Your Map—each presenting the assessment in a different multimodal format. It provides rating scales for behavioral style, sensory profile, and skills, along with detailed explanations, examples, and strategies for accommodations.

The manual also includes sections on family, environmental, peer, and educational stresses, offering parents a comprehensive view of factors that may affect a child's development. Throughout, the guide emphasizes a strengths‑based approach and encourages parents to consider "goodness of fit" between their own and their child's profiles.
