Psychoeducational Assessment

Catalog description

Assessment and intervention with children and adults are complex and highly interdependent processes. Assessment has no practical meaning unless it helps guide intervention. Within this framework, this course focuses upon the following three critical aspects: 1) The selection, use, and adaptation of appropriate comprehensive batteries of measures to delineate everyone's range of functional capabilities and individual differences across the age range. 2) The use of diagnostic reports as the primary vehicles for facilitating a bridge between psychoeducational diagnosis and individualized instructional goal-planning. 3) An overview of assessment procedures employed with children from varying backgrounds and a broad spectrum of exceptionalities. Only open to School-Clinical Child Psychology Students. Prerequisite(s): PSS 6131 .
